BENEDETTO, Sergio, Professor of Data Transmission Theory at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. 

Professor Benedetto has been with Istituto de Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni, Italy, Universita di Bari, Italy, University of California, Los Angeles, and as an Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. 

He has co-authored two Italian books in signal theory, probability and random variables, the books Digital Transmission Theory (Prentice-Hall, 1987), Optical Fiber Communications Systems (Artech House, 1996), and Principles of Digital Transmission with Wireless Applications, Kluwer-Plenum Publishers, 1999, as well as over 200 papers for leading engineering journals and conferences. Professor Benedetto is Area Editor for Signal Design, Modulation and Detection for the IEEE Transactions on Communications. His current interests are in the field of optical fiber communications systems, performance evaluation and simulation of digital communication systems, Trellis coded modulation and concatenated coding schemes. He is a Fellow of the IEEE. 

Professor Benedetto has been a member of the CEI-Europe faculty since 1999.
