Darli Augusto de Arruda Mello

Darli Mello studied Electrical Engineering at the RWTH-Aachen, Germany, and at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, where he graduated in 2000. In 2002 he received the M. Sc. degree from the Institute for Communications Engineering (LNT) at the Munich University of Technology (TUM), Germany. During his master's studies, he carried out experimental and theoretical work at the Siemens research labs in Munich. In 2006 he received the Ph.D. degree from UNICAMP after research stays at the TUM and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). After his Ph.D. studies, he spent one year with Padtec Optical Components and Systems as a senior technology engineer. From August 2008 to March 2014, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department (ENE) of the University of Brasilia (UnB) as an Assistant Professor. Since March 2014, he serves as Assistant Professor at the Communications Department (DECOM) of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC), University of Campinas (Unicamp). From January 2019 to January 2020, he was a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University. His main research interests are optical transmission and networking. Darli Mello was a TPC member of several conferences, including OFC, ACP, ICC, and Globecom. He was the TPC co-chair of SBrT 2011 and the Optical Communications Subcommittee of LAOP 2016 and LAOP 2018. He is a co-author, with Fabio Barbosa, of the book "Digital Coherent Optical Systems: Architecture and Algorithms," published by Springer Nature in 2021.
