Dr Martyn Fice is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering within the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences. He has over 30 years of experience in photonics and communications research in both industry and academia, with over 140 journal and conference papers published.

Dr Fice is a member of the Ultrafast Photonics research group, where his current research interests include THz communications, photonic integration, fibre and free-space optical communications, and convergence of optical and wireless communications. He is the Deputy Director of the UKRI-EPSRC National Dark Fibre Facility (NDFF), and Head of Space Theme for Satellite Communications in the UCL Space Domain and ESA_Lab@UCL.

Before joining UCL as a Senior Research Fellow in 2005, Dr Fice worked in industry for Nortel Networks at their research and development laboratories in Harlow, UK. He has a BA degree in Natural Sciences and Electrical Sciences from the University of Cambridge. His PhD, also from the University of Cambridge, involved research into the application of electron-beam lithography to the fabrication of Bragg gratings for 1550 nm distributed feedback semiconductor lasers.
