Giuseppe Iannaccone is professor of Electronics at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa where he graduated in Electrical Engineering with honors in 1992 and obtained the PhD in Information Engineering in 1996.
Institutional roles
He is Chairman of the Board of the Inter-University Italian consortium on nanoelectronics IU.NET which includes 13 Italian Universities with the purpose of coordinating research activities in the field of nanoelectronics.
Scientific and teaching activities
His teaching activity includes electronics, power and control electronics, neuromorphic circuits and devices in the study programmes of the Department of Information Engineering.
His main research activities relate to nanoelectronics in a border area between engineering and physics with the aim of challenging fundamental scientific and applicative problems to create computing and communication tools increasingly powerful but less energy consuming. In recent years he has expanded the range of his research activities including design of ultra-low-power analogic circuits, application of electronics to the internet of objects, artificial intelligence, cyber security and biomedical devices.
He was coordinator of 6 European and 3 National Projects involving multiple partners and Principal investigator in other 18 research projects. He is fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers, and fellow of the American Physical Society, the two largest associations of science and technology professionals. He is the auditor of several international research funding agencies.
He published more than 250 papers on international journals reaching more than 9500 citations on Scopus database with an h-index of 43 (h-index 52 according to Google Scholar database).
Professor Iannaccone is a strong supporter of science dissemination and of the leading role of university for social and cultural development. In 2012 and 2013 he coordinated the events of the Researchers’ Night in Tuscany starting the tradition in Pisa. In 2012 he organized TedxPisa. Since 2012 all his university lessons have been made available on YouTube. Many academic and industrial research groups use the open source CAD software for electric nanotechonologies NanoTCAD Vides developed within the nano electronics research team.
He is involved in many technology transfer activities crucial for the impact of scientific research on economic growth. He founded Quantavis srl, a Spin-off company of the University of Pisa. He chaired the Commission of experts for the promotion of patents of the University of Pisa and developed several projects of bilateral collaboration with multinational companies.
