MemComputing Fundamentals and Applications

Massimiliano Di Ventra, Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, University of California, San Diego

Massimiliano Di Ventra obtained his undergraduate degree in Physics summa cum laude from the University of Trieste (Italy) in 1991 and did his PhD studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne 1993-1997. He is now professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. Di
Ventra's research interests are in condensed-matter theory and unconventional computing. He has been invited to deliver more than 300 talks worldwide on these topics. He has published more than 200 papers in refereed journals and 3 textbooks, and has 4 granted patents. He is a fellow of the American
Physical Society and the Institute of Physics, and a foreign member of Academia Europaea. In 2018 he was named Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics and he is the recipient of the 2020 Feynman Prize for Theory in Nanotechnology.
