Biography

Fabrizio Di Pasquale received the degree in electronic engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in information technology from the University of Parma, Italy, in 1993. From 1993 to 1998, he was with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College London, U.K., as a Research Fellow, working on optical amplifiers, WDM optical communication systems, and liquid crystal displays. After two years with Pirelli Cavi e Sistemi and two years with Cisco Photonics Italy, he moved to Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa, Italy, where he is currently a Full Professor of telecommunications and Director of the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence. He is the Co-founder of Infibra Technologies S.r.l., a spin-off company of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, developing and marketing fiber optic sensor systems. He has filed 25 patents and is author or coauthor of more than 250 scientific journals and conference papers. His research interests include optical fiber sensors, silicon photonics, optical amplifiers, WDM transmission systems and networks. He has been the TPC member of several international conferences and on the Board of Reviewers of international refereed journals.
