Gabriella Bosco (born 1973) is an Italian engineer and professor at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Polytechnic University of Turin. She is the current editor-in-chief of the Journal of Lightwave Technology, and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Education

Bosco completed her Ph.D. in electronic communication engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2002. She was a visiting researcher in Professor Daniel Blumenthal's group at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2000 during her doctoral studies. [1]

Research and career

Bosco stayed at the Polytechnic University of Turin to pursue her postdoctoral research as part of the optical communications group, where she was appointed as an assistant professor in 2011 and associate professor since 2014. [2] From 2015 to 2019, she was also a member of the Academic Senate of the Polytechnic University of Turin. [3]

She is now a full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, where her research is focused on optical transmission systems working on their design and performance analysis, as well as applying digital signal processing methods to optical links. [4] Bosco has also worked on research projects funded by industrial partners such as Huawei, Cisco Systems, Telecom Italia, and the European Space Agency. [5]

Bosco has co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, as well as several book chapters. [6] She is currently Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, and previously served as an Associate Editor (2014–17) and Deputy Editor (2018). [7]

Awards and honours

Bosco and co-authors were awarded the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology Best Paper Award in 2014 and 2015, [8] for the papers "On the Performance of Nyquist-WDM Terabit Superchannels Based on PM-BPSK, PM-QPSK, PM-8QAM or PM-16QAM Subcarriers" (2011) [9] and "Mode-Division Multiplexing Over 96 km of Few-Mode Fiber Using Coherent 6x6 MIMO Processing" (2012) [10] . The award recognises top-cited papers that have been published in the Journal two or three years preceding the award.

She was elected as Fellow of The Optical Society in 2017 and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2019, for her "pioneering contributions to the modeling and design of coherent optical communication systems". [11] [12]

Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation process which conveys data by changing (modulating) the phase of a constant frequency carrier wave. The modulation is accomplished by varying the sine and cosine inputs at a precise time. It is widely used for wireless LANs, RFID and Bluetooth communication.

All-silica fiber, or silica-silica fiber, is an optical fiber whose core and cladding are made of silica glass. The refractive index of the core glass is higher than that of the cladding. These fibers are typically step-index fibers. The cladding of an all-silica fiber should not be confused with the polymer overcoat of the fiber.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Optical circulator</span> Optical device in which light entering any port exits from the next

An optical circulator is a three- or four-port optical device designed such that light entering any port exits from the next. This means that if light enters port 1 it is emitted from port 2, but if some of the emitted light is reflected back to the circulator, it does not come out of port 1 but instead exits from port 3. This is analogous to the operation of an electronic circulator. Fiber-optic circulators are used to separate optical signals that travel in opposite directions in an optical fiber, for example to achieve bi-directional transmission over a single fiber. Because of their high isolation of the input and reflected optical powers and their low insertion loss, optical circulators are widely used in advanced communication systems and fiber-optic sensor applications.

The Journal of Lightwave Technology is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering optical guided-wave science, technology, and engineering. It is published jointly by the Optical Society and the IEEE Photonics Society. It was established in 1983 and the editor-in-chief is Gabriella Bosco. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 4.439.

IEEE 802.11g-2003 or 802.11g is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that operates in the 2.4 GHz microwave band. The standard has extended link rate to up to 54 Mbit/s using the same 20 MHz bandwidth as 802.11b uses to achieve 11 Mbit/s. This specification, under the marketing name of Wi‑Fi, has been implemented all over the world. The 802.11g protocol is now Clause 19 of the published IEEE 802.11-2007 standard, and Clause 19 of the published IEEE 802.11-2012 standard.

Constellation shaping is an energy efficiency enhancement method for digital signal modulation that improves upon amplitude and phase-shift keying (APSK) and conventional quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) by modifying the continuous uniform distribution of the data symbols to match the channel. In a channel corrupted by an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), this implies transmitting low-energy signals more frequently than high-energy signals with the target to approach a Gaussian distribution of the transmission power.
