Brief Bio
Agostino Iadicicco received the master’s degree in electronic engineering cum laude and the Ph.D. degree in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Currently, he is full professor of electronics and Coordinator of the PhD program in “Information and Communication Technology and Engineering” at Department of engineering of University of Naples “Parthenope”, Italy. He serves as the Associate Editor for the IEEE Sensors Journal. Since 2002, his research activity has been focused on optoelectronics and photonics devices for sensing. He is currently involved in the design, realization and testing of novel in-fiber devices in standard and unconventional fibers including polarization maintaining and photonic bandgap fibers. His work in this area encompasses the development and practical application of sensors for the measurement of a range of physical, chemical, and biological parameters.
