I graduated in Electronic Engineering, summa cum laude at University of Genoa in 1991, with a thesis on LiNbO3 laser modeling. I got the Doctorate in Electronics (PhD) at Politecnico of Turin, in 1994, dealing with design, simulation and characterization of semiconductor lasers for advanced telecommunication systems. In 1995 I Joined CSELT, Centro Studi E Laboratori in Telecomunicazioni (the corporate research center of Telecom Italia): I was responsible for the semiconductor laser characterization lab, and I continued working in design, modeling and high frequency characterizations of semiconductor lasers. In 2000 the Torino team joined the Agilent Technologies Semiconductor Product Group (Spin Off of Hewlett Packard). In the new position I was the project leader of some R&D projects for high speed uncooled laser (enabling also the first in the market Agilent Xenpak 10Gb/s Ethernet transceiver) and medium and wide tunable lasers for metro networks. In 2005 SPG became an independent company named Avago Technologies. In the new Torino organization I became manager of an optoelectronic team, owning responsibility of a global team for volume testing, reliability and R&D development of III-V edge emitter lasers. Starting from R&D background, from the Agilent days to the Avago organization I progressively developed new production skills, focusing on the design for manufacturing, device engineering and long term reliability. From 2014 to 2023 I have been the Director of the Laser Diode Fab of Convergent Photonics in the Prima Industrie Organization, development and manufacturing site of high power diode laser for industrial applications. I am author and co-author of more than 50 publications on Journals and International Conference Proceedings, I am co-author of a semiconductor laser book, and I currently hold 12 active patents. I am a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) since 1996.
