Interview Questions

What is the toughest problem you have had to solve?

Polarization rotation in optical integrated circuits.

What are you most passionate about?

I love facing problems and new challenges, trying to find innovative solutions to solve them.

What did you learn from your previous job?

As a tecnical assistant at Telesystem, I learned about digital television standards (DVB) and protocols (OFDM, MPEG).

What are your strengths? Weaknesses?

I have a deep theoretical background in classical optics and many years of experience in numerical methods programming. I can program in many different programming languages, like C/C++, Fortran 77/90/95, Python and Matlab, with a focus on efficiency, standards compliancy and portability. I know the basics of parallel programming. I'm finally very inclined in learning things and facing new problems, looking for the better solutions to solve them. As a weakness, I can say that I'm fascinated by theoretical questions which might not have immediate practical importance and I can be tempted to follow the research of a solution which is not strictly necessary: colleagues and bosses are about keeping me focused, though!

Why did you choose this career?

I think optics is a very exciting field: young enough to be open to research but also mature enough to be ready for market. Being an optical designer means being challenged by both theoretical physical problems and practical issues every day, combining intuition in solving them and focusing in getting the correct result as soon as possible. It has taught me the pleasure of studying ang the gratification of tangible results.

Describe your ideal work environment.

Young, co-operative and challenging.

What do you like most about your job?

The possibility to learn every day.

How would your co-workers describe you?

Co-operative.
