Biography

Fernando Corinto is a Full Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He received his Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering in 2001 and his Ph.D. in Electronics and Communications Engineering in 2005, together with a European Doctorate Certification, all from Politecnico di Torino. His research focuses on nonlinear dynamical circuits and systems, cognitive neural networks and artificial intelligence, and memristor nanotechnology, where he has made significant contributions to both theoretical foundations and technological innovation. Prof. Corinto is the author of four books, ten book chapters, and more than 190 peer-reviewed publications, and he holds three patents that demonstrate the impact and applicability of his research. A Senior Member of IEEE since 2010, he has served in several leadership roles within the Circuits and Systems community, including Chair of the IEEE CAS Technical Committee on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and Array Computing and Vice-Chair of the IEEE North Italy CAS Chapter. He has also contributed as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I and as Editorial Board Member of the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications. His international engagement includes prestigious visiting positions such as DRESDEN Senior Fellow at TU Dresden and August-Wilhelm Scheer Visiting Professor at TU München, where he is affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study. His scientific impact has been recognized globally, including his inclusion in Stanford University’s 2024 “World’s Top 2% Scientists” list.
