Gabriele Liga

Gabriele Liga is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Signal Processing Systems (SPS) Group. He holds a Marie Curie Eurotech Fellowship focusing on signal shaping techniques for nonlinear optical fiber channels. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in optical communications from University College London, followed by postdoctoral research in digital signal processing and nonlinearity compensation.

Education: B.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from Università degli Studi di Palermo (2005), M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2011), and a Ph.D. in Optical Communications from University College London (2017).

Research Interests: Digital communications, information theory, fiber-optic systems, nonlinearity compensation, channel coding, and multi-user optical communication theory. His work emphasizes achieving transmission limits through signal shaping and advanced signal processing techniques.

Projects: Active roles in NESTOR (Next-gen optical networks), QuNEST (quantum communication security), Fun-NOTCH (nonlinear optical channel fundamentals), and SSTOC (signal shaping tailored to optical channels). Collaborations span institutions globally, focusing on optical fiber communication challenges.

Awards: 2023 ACP/POEM Best Student Paper Award and 2019 OECC Best Paper Award. Serves as a reviewer for IEEE journals and OSA publications.

Labs/Teams: Core member of the SPS Group and involved in interdisciplinary projects blending theory and experimental validation.
