José Chesnoy is an independent expert and consultant on undersea fiberoptic systems, and co-founder of the Subsea Optical Fiber Communications summer school. He began his career at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and pioneered the development of amplified submarine cables. Then he moved to Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN) where he successively led the development of submarine systems and WDM equipment, and was CTO of ASN before moving into independent consulting. Jean-Christophe Antona is in charge of Line Modeling and Advanced Studies within Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) in Nozay, France. He joined Alcatel Corporate Research Center to study nonlinear effects in terrestrial optical networks, and within Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs he headed the Dynamic Optical Networks research group before joining ASN. He has authored or coauthored more than 120 publications and 13 patent applications, and gives lectures at the Subsea Optical Fiber Communications summer school.
