Sant'Anna.
His current research interests include optical systems for access networks, optical wireless systems,
transmission impairments in optical fibres, optical system modelling, innovative devices for all-optical
photonic processing.
He has been the scientific representative of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in the European Integrated
Project (IP) NOBEL ("Next generation Optical networks for Broadband European Leadership",
https://www.ist-nobel.org ). He led the Italian MIUR project TOSCA (Transmission of Optical
Systems using Competitive Amplification). In 2005-2008 he was serving as a member of the Internal
Evaluation Committee of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. He was serving as a member of the Technical
Program Committee of the Optical Fiber Comunication Conference (OFC, since 2007 to 2010), of the
European Optical Communication Conference (ECOC, in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012) and of the Asia
Communications
and
Photonics
Conference
(ACP,
originally
APOC,
since
2008).
Since 2012, he is also serving as Associate Editor of IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, on systems
for optical access networks and on optical wireless systems.
Since November 2012, he is acting as coordinator of EU-funded project COCONUT (STREP category,
overall budget around 4 Million Euros), on hyperdense WDM-PON systems for access networks.
Currently he is also the scientific coordinator of Sant’Anna Research Unit in the Italian PRIN Project
ROAD-NGN (Optical Access Network based on frequency and / or wavelength division multiplexing
solutions for Next Generation Network). He is also coordinating the scientific activities of Sant’Anna
group in the FP7 International Training Network INFIERI (INtelligent, Fast, Interconnected and
Efficient devices for Frontier Exploitation in Research and Industry, http://infieri-network.eu/).
2001-2002: Since Nov. 2001, he was research manager at CNIT (www.cnit.it) Photonic Networks National Lab
in Pisa. He worked on high capacity optical transmission systems, including theory, numerical
modelling and experiments. He has been also coordinating advanced research activities aimed to
demonstrate innovative applications of nonlinear fibre optics in OTDM (Optical Time Division
Multiplexing) systems.
2000-2001: Coordinator of the theoretical team at QPlus Networks Italia, in Rome. He has been involved in
optical system modelling for long haul optical communications, including system design and
propagation issues. Among his results, he has proposed an innovative scheme to achieve 40 Gbit/s
transmission with very high spectral efficiency.
1998-2000: Researcher at Fondazione Ugo Bordoni (FUB, www.fub.it), in Rome. His main activity was on
modelling and experiments of high-capacity systems: this research was also performed in the frame of
the ATLAS IST project (WDM soliton transmission at 40 Gbit/s). He was also involved with
theoretical issues of optical networking. His interests were in nonlinear impairments, design of optical
crossconnects, dimensioning of WDM optical networks, optical packet switching and "IP over WDM"
issues. He proposed and demonstrated an innovative all-optical reshaping scheme, based on nonlinear
fiber optics, and a new architecture for Optical Cross Connects, exploiting wavelength bundling. At

Plants Department. His research work, both experimental and theoretical, was on signal impairments
due to propagation in optical fibres. At the same time, he was a consultant in the CSELT-Telecom
Italia working group for the deployment of the new optical transmission systems, namely WDM and
10 Gbit/s.
1992-1994: Junior Researcher at Fondazione Ugo Bordoni, in Rome (www.fub.it), Optical Communication
Division. He experimentally worked on transverse effects, namely the pattern formation in the
transverse intensity profile of a laser beam due to nonlinear propagation effects. In this period he
was also lecturer at "La Sapienza" University, in Rome.
1992:
Junior Project Manager at Telesoft, in Rome. There he attended the telecommunication advanced
course.
1992 (Jan-June): Scholarship at Alcatel Telettra, on coherent optical system. He was involved in characterisation
of optoelectronic components and the realisation of a PSK (phase shift keying) transmitter-receiver
pair for optical fibre communications.
EDUCATION
1991:
Laurea degree in Physics, 110/110 cum laude. His experimental thesis was about "Color centres in
KCl:Tl and their laser emission at 1.55 µm", carried out at the ENEA Research Center in Frascati. He
first obtained KCl:Tl laser-active crystals, for the 1st time in Europe, and then successfully used those
crystals in a laser cavity.
1985:
High school degree in the Italian "Liceo Classico", marked 60/60.
