Biography
From May of the same year he is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical, Electronics and Communication Engineering at Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni (DET) at Politecnico di Torino, under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Gaudino. Here, he works with the Optical Communication Group (OptCom).
His research subject concerns optical fiber sensing, with particular focus on environmental monitoring. In cooperation with Geosolving srl and Roberto Gaudino, he took part to the Optialp project, with the purpose to develop a cutting-edge optical fiber monitoring system to detect avalanches, debris flows and rockfall impacts. From this project, a patent concerning polarization based monitoring system has been achieved.
In May 2023 he received the "PHOTONS-@3 Photonic Technologies for Sensing Applications" Seasonal School Merit Award, from Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa (IT). In November 2023 he received the award for best student paper at IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC), held in Orlando, FL.
Currently, he is working on the characterization of anomalous vibrational events such as earthquakes, debris flows, or anthropological activities happening over metropolitan fibers. To reach this purpose, he is pursuing experiments on real fibers installed over metropolitan areas, and developing DSP and ML learning aided algorithms.
