Nicola Andriolli

Nicola Andriolli received the Laurea degree in telecommunications engineering from the University of Pisa in 2002, and the Diploma and Ph.D. degrees from Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, in 2003 and 2006, respectively. He was a Visiting Student at DTU, Copenhagen, Denmark and a Guest Researcher at NICT, Tokyo, Japan. In 2007-2019 he was an Assistant Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, in 2019-2023 he was with the National Research Council of Italy as a Researcher and then Senior Researcher at the Institute of Electronics, Information Engineering and Telecommunications (CNR-IEIIT).
Since 2024 he is an Associate Professor in Telecommunications at the University of Pisa at the Department of Information Engineering.

He has a background in the design and the performance analysis of optical circuit-switched and packet-switched networks and nodes. His research interests include photonic integration technologies for telecom, datacom and computing applications. He has been working in the field of optical processing and optical interconnection network architectures and scheduling, and more recently has been investigating integrated transceivers, comb sources, and architectures and subsystems for photonic neural networks.

He has authored more than 200 publications in international journals and conferences, contributed to one IETF RFC, and filed 11 patents. He has been a TPC Member in several international conferences (ICC, GLOBECOM, ECOC, EuCNC, IPR, PSC), he served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Access between 2019 and 2022, and he is an Associate Editor of IEEE Photonics Journal.
