The University of Padova (UNIPD, Italy) is represented by the members of the Photonics and Electromagnetic Group (PEG, http://peg.dei.unipd.it) of the Department of Information Engineering. The group has a long-standing world-renowned expertise in fiber optic technologies, ranging from telecom to sensing applications. Within DOMINO, UNIPD is taking responsibility of project coordination, and is coordinating the development of the quasi-distributed pressure sensor (WP2) and the dissemination (WP5). The group is also contributing to the development of the distributed pressure sensor (WP1) and to tests and data analyses (WP3 and WP4).
