Luca Pancioni

Luca Pancioni serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Information Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Siena, teaching core courses including Electric System and Energy Market for Engineering Management Master's students, Green Power Devices for Electronics and Communications Engineering programs, and Efficient Energy Conversion Systems for undergraduate Computer and Information Engineering students. His office hours are held Wednesdays 16:00-18:00 in Office 235.

Research focuses on nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory within memristor circuit systems, investigating discrete-time phenomena like snap-back repellers, coexisting attractors, and bifurcation mechanisms. His work bridges theoretical nonlinear analysis with practical applications in power systems and renewable energy conversion, emphasizing computational modeling of complex dynamical behaviors.

Recent 2024 publications demonstrate consistent exploration of memristor-based chaos across five high-impact journals (Nonlinear Dynamics, IEEE Access, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos). Key trends reveal specialization in extreme multistability phenomena, parameter-free bifurcations, and neural network convergence properties, with strong emphasis on circuit implementation of chaotic maps for computing applications.
