Vittorio M. N. Passaro

Vittorio M. N. Passaro was born in Bari, Italy, in November 1962. He received his Laurea degree in electronic engineering (cum laude) and his Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering, curriculum optoelectronics, from the University of Bari in 1988 and 1992, respectively. Since October 2000, he joined Politecnico di Bari as an Associate Professor of electronic technologies. He is author or coauthor of about 200 papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. He is the holder of two international patents and the Editor of one book. Since 1988, his research interests have focused on several theoretical and experimental aspects of optoelectronic technologies and integrated optics. He is involved, often with original contributions, in modeling, design, and simulation of a number of integrated optical devices and circuits for optical signal processing, telecommunications, and sensing applications. He has also been involved in dry etching and proton exchange technologies, in particular in the understanding of the physical-chemical mechanisms occurring during the formation of lithium niobate optical waveguides, as well as the relationships with their optical properties. Currently, he is involved in silicon photonics technology. Since 2004, he has formed the Photonics Research Group at Politecnico di Bari (URL: http://dee.poliba.it/photonicsgroup). He serves as referee for a number of international journals and is responsible of many national and international research projects. Dr. Passaro is a Member of the Editorial Board of the Open Optics Journal by Bentham Science Publishers. Finally, he is a Member of Optical Society of America (OSA), a Member of Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), an Associate Member of the National University Consortium of Matter Structure (CNISM), and a Senior Member of IEEE-LEOS Society.
