LUCA PIERANTONI

Professor LUCA PIERANTONI serves as a Full Professor at the Department of Information Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM). His scientific specialization lies in IINF-02/A - Electromagnetic Fields, with his office located at Via Brecce Bianche. He maintains regular office hours on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00-12:00 at the Engineering Faculty's Department of Information Engineering.

Professor Pierantoni's research spans the cutting edge of nanoscale electronics and electromagnetic phenomena. His expertise encompasses ferroelectric materials at the nanoscale, quantum transport in 2D materials, and high-frequency device applications. His work bridges theoretical modeling with experimental validation, particularly in graphene-based geometric diodes, transition metal dichalcogenides, and hafnium-based ferroelectric systems. Notably, he has pioneered research on asymmetric transport phenomena in nanoscale structures and their applications for energy harvesting across microwave to terahertz frequencies.

Analysis of Professor Pierantoni's recent publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on multiscale modeling of nanoscale electronic devices. His work demonstrates exceptional integration of ab initio calculations, quantum transport modeling, and experimental device characterization. A significant trend involves the development of graphene-based geometric diodes for terahertz rectification, with applications in energy harvesting and sensing. His research on ferroelectric hafnium oxide systems shows promise for next-generation memory and RF applications, while his investigations into transition metal dichalcogenides reveal novel optical and electronic properties for optoelectronic applications.

Professor Pierantoni appears actively engaged in academic mentorship, as evidenced by his involvement in the Nano Student Design Competition initiative. His research program likely involves collaboration with European partners given the international scope of projects in nanoelectronics and the presence of Horizon Europe framework references in the institutional context. His technical expertise spans from fundamental quantum phenomena to practical device implementation, positioning him at the forefront of nanoscale electromagnetic research.
