Gaetano Assanto received his MSc in Electrical Engineering in 1981
and his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1987. Since
November 1992, he has been a professor of Optoelectronics with the
Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Rome "Roma
Tre". His current interests are in nonlinear effects (parametric,
Kerr-like, reorientational, thermo-optic) for all-optical signal
processing and light localization, as well as Si-Ge heterostructures
and optoelectronics for near-infrared photodetection. Dr. Assanto is
a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and senior member of
the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (IEEE-LEOS). He is a
topical editor for the Journal of the Optical Society of America B
and the chairman of the IEEE-LEOS Technical Committee in Nonlinear
Optics.
