Andre Metzger

Bio:

Andre G. Metzger received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, San Diego, in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Since 1995 he has been , involved in research with the High Speed Device Group for which he is currently a Ph.D. candidate. From 1995 to 1997, he was a key member in the design of a 12 X 12 10-Gb/s crosspoint switch that made up the core of a DARPA sponsored 40-Gb/s 3 X 3 opto-electronic switch project entitled WEST. He has interned at Rockwell Science Center, consulted for Conexant Systems in Newbury Park and Newport Beach, CA, and collaborated internationally with the University of Bologna, Italy. His primary research focus is circuit design for high-speed fiber optic communications, but has also included HBT device design, switching and millimeter-wave power amplifier design, and silicon-on-sapphire CMOS circuit design. His thesis work involves data recovery in dispersed fiber transmission systems.
