Dr Fatima Gunning received her B.Sc. degree in Physics in 1995, M.Sc. in Nonlinear Optics in 1997, and Ph.D in Optoelectronics in 2000 from Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Brazil, investigating the fundamental and induced nonlinear properties in glasses, optical fibres and planar waveguides through a technique called thermal poling. As a postgraduate research student, she visited British Telecom Research Laboratories, Martlesham Heath, UK, over several periods between 1996 and 2000, where her primary goal was to implement the thermal poling techniques towards specially designed optical fibres and planar waveguides. Following the award of her doctorate, she was recruited by Corning Research Centre at Adastral Park, UK, to work on advanced electroabsorption-based optical modulators for application in high-speed optical transmission telecommunication networks. She is co-founder of the Photonics Systems Group at Tyndall National Institute, Cork, Ireland, and since 2003 Dr Gunning's research predominantly focus on novel spectrally efficient techniques for high speed optical transmission, including all-optical OFDM (Coherent WDM) and frequency comb generation, expanding communications to new wavelength windows (namely at 2microns), and working closely with photonic devices, integration and packaging teams to enable next generation components. She also has interests in sensing technologies developing novel optical fibre-based sensors with applications in the chemical and biological industries. Dr Gunning is currently Head of Graduate Studies at Tyndall, SFI IPIC Investigator, and collaborates with many academic and industrial partners nationally and internationally through research clusters (CTVR, IPIC, etc), EU collaborative projects (TRIUMP, PHASORS, MODEGAP, TIPS), in addition to host IRC postgraduate students. She shared the 2017 UCC Best Research Supervisor Award, a student-led nomination. She's passionate about scienc
