Dr. Varghese Baby

Varghese Baby drafts and prosecutes patent applications in the areas of communications, optics, "cleantech and green technologies", software and business methods, semiconductor physics and nanotechnology, as well as electrical, computer and mechanical arts.

Varghese’s background in scientific research encompasses a broad range of technologies including telecommunications, optical networks, semiconductor physics and high-speed RF electronics. His doctoral thesis work at Princeton University was on the development of high-speed access technologies for flexible broadband networks. Varghese also played a lead role in the development of a network testbed as part of a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The testbed was approved and selected by Lincoln Labs, MIT and Lockheed Martin, Inc. for further system-level testing and integration.

Upon completion of his doctoral studies, Varghese spent 15 months as a research fellow at the Photonics Systems Group at McGill University where he focused on optical packet-switched networks and fiber lasers. His research work on fiber lasers has application in a wide range of fields including optical sensors, optical instrumentation and fiber optics.

Varghese has co-authored more than fifty peer-reviewed articles and two book chapters in the areas of access networks, fiber lasers and ultra-fast signal processing and computing. He has also presented his research at various international conferences.
