Physics Behind Electronics

Leonardo Ricci is Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Trento, Italy. He graduated in Physics in 1990 from the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Munich, Germany, in 1994. His main research interests concern analytical and hardware tools to investigate complexity in synthetic and real-world dynamical systems.Alessio Perinelli is Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Trento, Italy. He graduated in Physics in 2017 from the same institution, where he earned his PhD in 2020. His research interests cover the analysis of signals stemming from complex systems in neuroscience and geophysics, and the development of software and hardware platforms to simulate complex dynamics.Marco Prevedelli is Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Bologna, Italy. He graduated in Physics in 1988 from the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Florence, Italy, in 1992. His main interests are in the experimental fields of high-resolution spectroscopy, optical metrology, cold atoms and atom interferometry.
