Michela Svaluto Moreolo received the M.Sc. degree with honours in electronics engineering and the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications engineering from University Roma Tre, Rome, Italy, in May 2003 and April 2007, respectively.

From January 2007 to December 2008 she has held a Postdoctoral position at the Applied Electronics Department of University Roma Tre. Since 2004, she has been teaching assistant at Engineering Faculty of University Roma Tre, for the courses of Photonics, Photonics for Telecommunications, Optical Communications and Signals.

She has been a visiting researcher at the ‘Christian Doppler Laboratory of Surface Optics', Institute of Semiconductor and Solid State Physics, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria, from January 2004 to July 2004. 

She has joined the Optical Networking Group of CTTC in January 2009, as a Post-Doc Researcher. Since December 2009, she is with the same Group as a Research Associate.

Her research activity has been focused on the design and modelling of planar lightwave circuits, multiplexer/demultiplexers, encoder/decoders for IP routing, and slow-light devices to realize optical delay lines. Her research also included all optical regeneration, Radio over Fiber and Free Space Optics systems in collaboration with ISCOM, at Italian Communications Ministry.
Currently, her studies are directed towards advanced modulation formats, optical OFDM, multiplexing and coding techniques for next generation optical networks.
