Gabriele’s research interests embrace the areas of digital communications, information theory, and mathematical modeling of communication systems. Gabriele currently holds a Marie Curie Eurotech Fellowship whose main objective is using signal shaping techniques to achieve the fundamental transmission limits of the nonlinear optical fibre channel, He is also interested in multi-user optical communication theory, digital signal processing and nonlinearity compensation for fibre-optic systems. He currently serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals in the area of communications and photonics, such as IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on Communications, OSA Optics Express and IEEE Photonics Technology Letters.
