  • Andre Carena, Assistant Professor (Politecnico di Torino, Turin - Italy)
      • Dr. Andrea Carena, visited the DiNEq research team workshop during the first week of July 2015. During that period, he visited the Institute of Telecommunication labs where the main experimental activities of the project took place, interacted with the team members and participated in group meetings, and attended the DiNEq workshop “VII Seminar in Multi-Gigabit Optical Networks, DiNEq, Aveiro, July 1, 2014”, where he presented the talk “Enhanced GN Model”.
      • Andrea Carena received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1995 and 1998 respectively. During his Ph.D. studies, he spent one year in the Optical Communication and Photonic Network group directed by Prof. Blumenthal working in the realization of OPERA, an optical label swapping network testbed. From 1998 to 2003, he was a post-doc at Dipartimento di Elettronica, Politecnico di Torino. His research has been focused on optical communication system performance evaluation,non-linear effects in fiber propagation and algorythm for computer simulation of fiber propagation. He also collaborated in the development and implementation of OptSim,an optical transmission system simulator. Since 2004, he has been assistant professor in the Optical Communication Group at Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni of Politecnico di Torino. His current research interests are in the field of physical layer desing of fiber-optic high-speed transmission systems (100 Gbps and beyond, toward 1 Tbps super-channels) including high order modulation formats, coherent detection, Nyquist-WDM, and fiber nonlinearities modeling.
        He co-authored more than 100 scientific publications.

  • Gabriela Bosco, Associate Professor (Politecnico di Torino, Turin - Italy)
      • Dra. Gabriela Bosco, visited the DiNEq research team workshop during the second week of June 2015. During that period, she visited the Institute of Telecommunication labs where the main experimental activities of the project took place, participated in team meetings, and attended the DiNEq workshop “VIII Seminar in Multi-Gigabit Optical Networks, DiNEq, CV-Quantum, VADONetC, Aveiro, June 9, 2015”, where she presented the talk “Nonlinearity Mitigation Through Symbol Rate Optimization in Multi-Subcarrier Optical Systems”.
      • Gabriela Bosco received the MS Degree in Telecommunication Engineering in 1998 and the PhD in Electronic and Communication Engineering in 2002, both from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. She was a visiting researcher at University of California at Santa Barbara in 2000. From 1998 to 2011, she held a post-doctoral position in the OptCom group at Politecnico di Torino, where she worked as an Assistant Professor from 2011 to 2014. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at Politecnico di Torino. Her main research interests are focused on the performance analysis and design of optical transmission systems and the application of digital signal processing techniques in optical links. She has co-authored more than 150 papers in leading journals and conferences. She served in the TPC of the conference CLEO and she currently serves in the TPC of the Optical Fiber Communication Conference. She is an Associate Editor for IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology and she is a Senior Member of IEEE and OSA as well.
