Biography
Vittorio M. N. Passaro received his Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering (cum laude) from University of Bari in 1988 and his Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering, curriculum Optoelectronics, from Politecnico di Bari in 1992. From May 1991 to September 2000 he was researcher of Electronics at Politecnico di Bari. Since October 2000, he joined Politecnico di Bari as an Associate Professor of “Electronics”. Since February 2014 he received the national qualification for full professorship in “Electronics”. Since 1988 his research interests have been focused on several theoretical and experimental aspects of Electronic, Optoelectronic and Photonic Technologies. He has published contributions in modeling, design, simulation and fabrication of integrated optical devices and circuits for optical signal processing, telecommunications and sensing applications, by considering a number of materials and technologies, mainly ferroelectric (lithium niobate) and semiconductors (silicon and various group IV compounds, III-V alloy compounds). He has been also involved in studies on dry etching mechanisms, proton exchange technologies, nonlinear effects in silicon and semiconductor lasers. Currently, he is mainly involved in Group IV Photonics (silicon-on-insulator, silicon compounds, germanium) and fiber optic sensors.
