obviously delighted and honoured to be elected a Fellow of the RA Engineering. However this is very much a team effort and I would like to pay tribute to my past and present PhDs and Postdoctoral Research Associates and my wonderful technical support staff without whom none of these achievements would have been possible”.
Mohamed Missous, Professor of Semiconductor Materials and Devices
Missous, from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, joined the University in 1989, having previously gained his MSC and PhD from UMIST – now part of The University of Manchester. His professional activities are centred on the growth of complex multi-layer semiconductor films by the technique of MBE.
Over the years he has concentrated, with considerable success, on establishing practical approaches and techniques required to meet stringent doping and thickness control, to sub monolayer accuracy, for a variety of advanced quantum devices.
Further work has involved working on amplifiers and Analogue to Digital converters for a range of applications including the Square Kilometre Array project (SKA). Close industrial involvement with leading players in optoelectronic and microwaves is key to his work, including the design of Intelligent Cruise Control systems in cars.
Missous has given keynote speeches in many of the major gatherings of his disciplines, including terahertz technology, infrared sensing, MBE and ultra high speed devices and has over 190 publications in the field.
He also co-founded integrated compound semiconductors and advanced Hall sensors to exploit advanced semiconductors devices in ultra high sensitivity position sensing, Terahertz imaging, mid infrared detection , automotive car radars and radio astronomy.
Commenting on the recognition, Missous said, “I am 102

Infinera welcomes Mike Kelly as Vice President, Cable Sales
The indium phosphide based PIC provider is expanding its sales force to support the company’s success in the cable and key vertical markets.
As a result of the company’s growing success among top performing cable operators in the U.S., Infinera has created a new position and appointed Mike Kelly as Vice President of Sales for the Cable Market.
The appointment will strengthen Infinera’s focus on this important market segment, and is part of a broader initiative to apply more focus on key market segments and global geographies as the company grows.
Kelly has been involved with cable television and network infrastructure companies for more than 30 years, including senior sales roles at Antec (now Arris), C-Cor, and Juniper Networks. He joins a team that has built a strong position in the U.S. cable market, with every one of the top five U.S. cable systems deploying Infinera solutions.
In addition to cable, Infinera is growing its sales force to provide additional focus on key vertical markets such as incumbent operators and submarine service providers, and is expanding its international geographic coverage in APAC and EMEA.
