    To date, more than 4 billion kilometers of optical fibers have been installed in the world
(approximately the distance between the Earth and the planet Neptune, the farthest planet from
Earth). This talk will be an introduction to fiber optic communications, which are the backbone
of most communication systems around the world.

Andrew R. Chraplyvy received the B.S. degree in physics in 1972 from Washington University,
St. Louis, Missouri, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Cornell University in 1975
and 1977, respectively. He joined the physics department at General Motors Research Labs in
1977 as a Research Scientist where he studied vibrational modes of gases and impurity modes in
solids using ultra-high resolution spectroscopy. Since 1980, he has been with Bell Laboratories,
where he has held a number of research and management positions. He holds over 90 patents
worldwide in the areas of lightwave systems and fiber optics and has authored hundreds of
publications. Along with Bob Tkach, Andy invented a new type of optical fiber, NZDF, that is
widely deployed in intercontinental and long-haul terrestrial networks. In addition, they are
responsible for a number of inventions that greatly increased the capacity and speed of optical
networks, in particular the concept of dispersion management of optical nonlinearities. These
inventions and technologies are found in most high-capacity optical networks worldwide.
    Fiber Optics: Communication with the Speed of Light
    A book discussion of The Zelensky Effect on Thursday, September 21st at 7:00 PM. Our panel will consist of author Olga Onuch, Professor (Chair) in Comparative and Ukrainian Politics at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, and Katya Pavlevych, Advocacy Communications Team Member of Razom for Ukraine. We are pleased to cosponsor this event with Razom, highlighting Zelensky's wartime leadership and Ukraine's national identity. The event will take place in person at the Shevchenko Scientific Society and will be streamed online.
    THE ZELENSKY EFFECT
    Modern Ukraine has become one of the most misinterpreted countries in the world. This talk will focus on Ukraine’s trajectory of development, how it failed conventional analytical tests, and the country’s future prospects. Yevhen Hlibovytsky will look into Ukraine's security, demography, political culture, religions, economy, and governance and will explain how these factors impact Ukraine's future options.

Yevhen Hlibovytsky is a lecturer at Ukrainian Catholic University and a public intellectual who has been actively studying how cultural factors influence institution building and long-term prospects for Ukraine. He runs pro.mova, a think tank and consultancy, and is actively involved in Ukraine’s reforms sector. Yevhen Hlibovytsky is a member of the supervisory board of Suspilne, the Ukrainian Public Broadcaster.
