Alon Ascoli

Alon Ascoli is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at Politecnico di Torino. His scientific disciplinary sector is IIET-01/A - Electrical Engineering (Area 0009 - Industrial and Information Engineering). He previously held research positions at the Technical University of Dresden from December 1, 2012 to November 30, 2018.

His teaching responsibilities span multiple engineering programs, including Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Physics Engineering. For the 2025/26 academic year, he serves as Course Lecturer for Electromagnetism and Circuit Theory and as Course Collaborator for Electrical Engineering and Networks and Complex Systems courses.

Dr. Ascoli's research interests include:

• Memristor technology and modeling
• Reservoir computing architectures
• Nonlinear dynamics in electronic systems
• Circuit theory and mathematical modeling
• Neuromorphic computing applications
• Complex networks and systems

His recent publications demonstrate expertise spanning from theoretical modeling to experimental implementation of memristive devices, with a current focus on applications in computing architectures. The trend in his work shows progression from fundamental memristor modeling (2013) to advanced applications in neuromorphic systems (2024-2025).

He currently leads research activities in the RECOMMEND project (REservoir COMputing with MEmristive Nonlinear Dynamics: Theory, Design and Applications) running from 2024-2027, which involves international non-EU research collaboration.

Dr. Ascoli supervises PhD student Rosanna Cavazzana in the Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering program (40th cycle, 2024-present), reflecting his commitment to academic mentoring and research training in specialized electrical engineering fields.
