I was editor of FibreSystems Europe magazine and the associated website fibresystems.org from January 2008 to July 2009, responsible for all editorial content on those titles.

Since they are no longer published, IOP Publishing has kindly given permission for me to reproduce some of my recent articles here on my blog.

Here’s a selection (you can browse my blog to find more):

I was previously a senior editor at Light Reading from 2000 to 2004 covering telecoms optical components. If you fancy a trip down telecoms memory lane you can read my articles charting (amongst other things) the dreams and subsequent flameout of many an optical components startup:
Search for ‘Pauline Rigby’ using the LR search tool
(Put in a year from 2000 to 2004).

In the past I have also written for Materials Today (Elsevier), Nature (Macmillan), and Wireless Europe (IOP Publishing).
