Luca Pierantoni received the ‘Laurea’ degree (summa cum laude) in Electronics Engineering in 1988 and the Ph.D. degree in 1993 in Electromagnetics from the Department of Electronics and Automatics at the University of Ancona, Italy. From 1989 to 1995, he was with the Department of Electronics and Automatics of the University of Ancona, as a Research Fellow. His main research activity consisted of the analysis of the electromagnetic propagation in non-uniform waveguide, the development of analytical/numerical methods for the full-wave characterization of monolithic microwave integrated circuits and optical devices. From 1996 to 1999 he worked at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in the Institute of High-Frequency Engineering as Senior Research Scientist. In 1999 he joined the Department of Electromagnetics at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy as Assistant Professor. In 2002, he has been guest scientist at the Technical University of Munich. Presently, he is with the Department of Information Technology at the Polytechnic University of Marche. His current research interests are in the investigation of the combined Maxwell-quantum transport problem in nanomaterials, the analysis of electrodynamics in nanostructures and in the development of computational techniques for the multi-physical modeling of micro- and nano-devices. He is a member of the Italian University Network for the Physics of Matter (CNISM). He is a member of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). He is the chair of the IEEE MTT-S “RF Nanotechnology” technical committee. He is the Chair of the Technical Paper Review Committee (TPRC) SC-34, “RF Nanotechnology”. He has been recently nominated IEEE MTT-S Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML).He is author or co-author of more than 100 papers
