Massimo L. Filograno received the Laurea second-level Italian degree in electronic engineer (five years program) from the Polytechnic of Bari, Bari, Italy, in 2009, and an international Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electronics, University of Alcala, Madrid, Spain, in 2013. The topic of his doctoral dissertation was on the development of optical fiber sensors applied to the high-speed railway environment. While working toward the Ph.D. degree, he was a Visiting Researcher in the Department of Electromagnetism and Telecommunication, University of Mons, Belgium. Since 2008, he has been with the Group of Photonics Engineering of the University of Alcala, and the Optics Institute of the Spanish National Research Council, Madrid, Spain. He joined the Optoelectronic Group of the University of Sannio as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2014 working on fiber optic point sensors. He is currently a Marie Curie Fellow working on distributed optical fiber sensing with the project DIVAS, EU funded, under the Horizon 2020 program (H2020-MSCA-IF-2015). His research interests include the wide field of linear and nonlinear interactions in optical fibers.
