Luca Gammaitoni, is Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Perugia, in Italy and the director of the Noise in Physical Systems (NiPS) Laboratory. He is also the founder of Wisepower srl a university spin-off company. He obtained the PhD in Physics from the University of Pisa in 1990. Since then he has developed a wide international experience with collaborations both in Europe, Japan and the USA. His scientific interests span from noise phenomena in physical systems to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and energy transformations at micro and nanoscale, including the Physics of computing. He authored over 200 papers on top-level scientific journals and few books. He is also the author of 10 patents. His papers have been cited more than 14.000 times. H factor=64 (ISI: 51).
The Noise in Physical Systems (NiPS) Laboratory is a research facility within the Physics Department of the University of Perugia. The laboratory (www.nipslab.org) has a long-standing tradition in studying physical systems in the presence of noise. Scientific interest ranges from stochastic nonlinear dynamics modelling to thermal noise measurements. Wisepower srl (www.wisepower.it) is a university spin-off company focused on the design and prototyping of micro-energy generators. The company holds patents on vibration-to-electricity nonlinear conversion technology.
