Gabriella Bosco facts for kids

Gabriella Bosco was born in Italy in 1973. She is a talented Italian engineer and a professor. She teaches at the Polytechnic University of Turin in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications.

Professor Bosco is very important in her field. She is currently the main editor for a science magazine called the Journal of Lightwave Technology. She is also a "Fellow" of two big science groups: the Optical Society of America and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Being a Fellow means she is recognized as a top expert in her area.

Gabriella Bosco's Education

Gabriella Bosco studied at the Polytechnic University of Turin. She earned her Ph.D. in electronic communication engineering in 2002. A Ph.D. is the highest university degree you can get.

During her studies in 2000, she visited the University of California, Santa Barbara. There, she worked with Professor Daniel Blumenthal's team. This was part of her research for her Ph.D.

Her Work and Research

After finishing her Ph.D., Professor Bosco continued her research at the Polytechnic University of Turin. She joined a group that studies optical communication. This is about sending information using light, often through special cables called optical fibers.

She became an assistant professor in 2011. Later, in 2014, she became an associate professor. From 2015 to 2019, she also helped make important decisions for the university. She was a member of the Academic Senate.

Today, she is a full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications. Her research focuses on optical transmission systems. These systems use light to send huge amounts of data very quickly. She works on how to design them and make them perform better. She also uses digital signal processing to improve how light signals travel through optical links.

Professor Bosco has worked on projects with big companies. These include Huawei, Cisco Systems, and Telecom Italia. She has also worked with the European Space Agency.

She has written over 200 scientific articles with other researchers. These articles are "peer-reviewed," meaning other experts check them before they are published. She has also written parts of several books. As mentioned, she is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology. Before that, she was an Associate Editor and Deputy Editor for the same journal.

Awards and Special Recognitions

Professor Bosco has received several important awards. In 2014 and 2015, she and her co-authors won the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology Best Paper Award. This award is given to highly-cited papers that were published a few years earlier.

The award recognized two of their papers:

• "On the Performance of Nyquist-WDM Terabit Superchannels Based on PM-BPSK, PM-QPSK, PM-8QAM or PM-16QAM Subcarriers" (published in 2011).
• "Mode-Division Multiplexing Over 96 km of Few-Mode Fiber Using Coherent 6x6 MIMO Processing" (published in 2012).

In 2017, she was chosen as a Fellow of The Optical Society. In 2019, she became a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. These honors recognize her important work. She was recognized for her "pioneering contributions to the modeling and design of coherent optical communication systems." This means she helped create new ways to understand and build advanced light-based communication systems.
