Mohammad Al-Khateeb obtained his B.Sc. degree in
Communication and Software Engineering from Al-Balqa' Applied
University in 2011. Then he peruse his Erasmus Mundus double
Master degree in Photonics Networks Engineering from Scuola
Superiore Sant'Anna and Aston University. His Master’s degree
was obtained in collaboration with Technical University Berlin
under the supervision of Prof. Klaus Petermann with the title
of "High Dimensional Modulation Formats in Fiber-Optic Mode-Division
Multiplexed Transmission Systems". Mohammad is currently working
towards Doctor Degree at Aston University under the supervision
of Prof. Andrew Ellis, and Mohammad's interests is working to
expand the capacity of optical transmission systems through
nonlinearity compensation in the electronic domain (DSP)
and in the optical domain (OPC).
