Paolo Serena is an assistant professor  in Telecommunications at the Department of Information Engineering at the Università di Parma, Parma, Italy .

He received the Laurea degree in Electronics Engineering from the Università di Parma, Parma, Italy , in 1999, and the P.h.D. degree in Information Technology  from the same University in 2003.

Dr. Serena collaborates with Alcatel-Lucent Research & Innovation, Marcoussis - Paris, France, within a research project on the system impact of nonlinear distortions in optical fibers.

Since 2004 he is the instructor of the course Comunicazioni Ottiche B (Advanced Optical Communications) focused on nonlinear propagation in optical fibers and its implications on system performance. Since 2006 he is the instructor of Comunicazioni Elettriche A, Laurea in ingegneria informatica, (Electrical Communications A)

His main research activities cover several topics in signal propagation in optical fibers, including the nonlinear interaction of noise and signal through parametric processes, the impact of modulation formats on system performance, polarization mode dispersion, and optimized dispersion management.

Paolo Serena is the creator and first maintainer of Optilux, an open source Matlab/Octave toolbox for simulating optical communication systems.
