Maurizio Casalino earned a PhD in electrical engineering from the University “Mediterranea” of Reggio Calabria, after a Laurea (summa cum laude) in electrical engineering from the University of Naples “Federico II”. In 2010, he joined the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems in Naples (ISASI-NA) as a researcher. He has taught optoelectronics and photonics at the University of Calabria and Analog Electronics and Physics of the Semiconductors and Devices University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”. He is pursuing his interests in the design, fabrication and characterization of silicon active and passive photonic devices enhanced by the use of emerging materials as single-layer graphene. He is a member of IEEE and a member of the Optical and Photonic Italian Society (SIOF).
