Mário F. S. Ferreira

Mário F. S. Ferreira was born in Ovar, Portugal. He graduated in physics from the University of Porto, Portugal, and received his Ph.D. in physics in 1992 from University of Aveiro, Portugal. Between 1990 and 1991, he was at the University of Essex, UK, performing experimental work on external cavity semiconductor lasers and non-linear optical-fiber amplifiers. His research interests have been concerned with the modeling and characterization of multi-section semiconductor lasers for coherent optical systems, quantum well lasers, optical fiber amplifiers and lasers, soliton propagation, nanophotonics, polarization, and non-linear effects in optical fibers. He has written about 300 scientific journal and conference publications in addition to two books (Nonlinear Effects in Optical Fibers and Optics and Photonics). He is a member of the Optical Society of America (OSA), the International Society for Optical and Photonics (SPIE), and the Portuguese Physical Society. He is a traveling lecturer of the SPIE, having delivered multiple lectures around the world. He has served in various committees of the OSA and SPIE, as well as on technical committees of various international conferences. Since 2010, he is has been the General Chair of the conference on Optical Sensors, part of the OSA Advanced Photonics Congress. He is presently an associate editor of Optical Fiber Technology—Materials, Devices, and Systems” and a member of the advisory board of several journals.
