Biographical Sketch
Dr. Leonid G. Kazovsky is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford
University since 1990. After joining Stanford, Prof. Kazovsky founded
Photonics
Networking Research Laboratory (PNRL). He leads PNRL since
then. Prior to joining Stanford, Prof. Kazovsky was with Bellcore
(now Telcordia) doing research on WDM, high-speed and coherent optical
fiber communication systems.
While on Bellcore assignments or Stanford sabbaticals, Prof. Kazovsky
worked at the Heinrich Hertz Institute, Berlin, Germany; Hewlett-Packard
Research Laboratories, Bristol, England; and Technical University of Eindhoven,
the Netherland.
Through research contracts, consulting engagements, and other arrangements,
Prof. Kazovsky worked with many inductrial companies and U.S. Government
agencies including Sprint, DEC, GTE, AT&T, IVP, Lucent, Hitachi, KDD,
Furukawa, Fujitsu, Optivision, and Perimeter on the industrial side; and
NSF, DARPA, Air Force, Navy, Army, and BMDO on the government side. He
also worked extensively with many leading VCs and intellectual property
law firms.
In 1998-99, Prof. Kazovsky took a one-year leave from Stanford University
and launched a start-up company now known as Alidian Networks. He
serves on the Board of Directors of that company. Prof. Kazovksy also serves,
on a consulting basis, as a Venture Partner with ICP, a leading southern
California venture capital company.
Prof. Kazovsky serves or served on Editorial Boards of leading journals
(IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters,
Wireless Networks) and on Program Committees of leading conferences (OFC,
CLEO, LEOS, SPIE, and GLOBECOM). He also served as a reviewer for
various IEEE and IEE Transactions, Proceedings, and Journals; funding agencies
(NSF, OFC, ERC, NRC, etc.) and publishers (Wiley, MacMillan, etc.).
Prof. Kazovsky authored or co-authored two books, some 150 journal
technical papers, and a similar amount of conference
papers. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of OSA.
