Francesco Da Ros received his B.Sc. from Università degli Studi di Padova in 2008, a dual M.Sc. degree in telecommunication engineering from Università degli Studi di Padova and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 2011, and the Ph.D. degree from DTU in 2014. Between 2013 and 2014 he spent a seven-month research stay at Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, Germany. Between 2015 and 2018, he within the Center for Silicon Photonics for Optical Communications (SPOC) at DU, and since 2020, he is a senior researcher in the Machine Learning in Photonic Systems group at DTU Fotonik. Dr. Da Ros has co-authored more than 150 journal and conference papers, and he is currently focusing on the application of nonlinear optics and integrated photonics for optical and optoelectronics implementation of machine learning algorithms. He is an OSA Young Professional Volunteer member, an IEEE Senior Member, and has been serving as a technical subcommittee member of the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) from 2017 to 2021, chairing the S&I 12 subcommittee for CLEO 2020 and 2021.
