Born in 1966 in Italy, Domenico Di Mola received his PhD in Electronic Engineering and post-doc in Quantum Electronic from
Polytechnic of Turin (Italy). He started his career in Italtel (Telecom Italia-Siemens) participating to first design of GoS (Glass on
Silicon) Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) De/Mux, today one the most widely deployed product in DWDM line system.
In 1995, he has pioneered development and deployment of first Tunable Add and Drop architecture and published on major
optoelectronics journal like JLT, JSTQE and Photonic Letters.
In his professional life he has worked in various engineering and management roles for some of largest optoelectronic organizations,
like Agilent Technologies (now AVAGO), JDSU (now Lumentum) and Oplink (now Molex), where he participated and led development
of first 10G, 40G and 100G optical modules and transceivers (XFP, SFP, QSFP, CFP).
In 2008, taking leadership of Common R&D in Alcatel-Lucent Optical Networking Division, he led the development of the first 100G
Coherent QPSK DWDM transponder, designing the first integrated 100G Coherent DSP-ASIC based on fully integrated CMOS
technology.
In 2013, he joined Juniper to lead the strategic planning for Packet-Optical platform that defined Juniper strategic acquisitions in
Optical domains.
Currently he is VP of Engineering of Packet-Optical platform which include assets from these acquisitions.
He has been key note speaker at ECIO, ECOC and OFC and holds several fundamental patents in technologies, component and
systems for DWDM Networks.
