Curriculum Vitae



Lorenzo Colace (b. in Rome on 9/27/1965) received in 1992 his MSc ("Laurea") in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome "La Sapienza", discussing a thesis on analysis and modeling of chaotic dynamics. In 1997 he completed his PhD at the University "Roma Tre" defending a dissertation on Silicon-Germanium heterostructures for near-infrared detection. He is currently a Research Scientist with the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University "Roma Tre", involved in design, fabrication and characterization of Silicon integrated photodetectors for the near infrared and parametric effects for all-optical signal processing. Dr. Colace is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the National Institute for the Nuclear Physics (INFN).
