Giovanni Finocchio received the Ph.D. degree in advanced technologies in optoelectronic, photonic and electromagnetic modeling from the University of Messina, Italy, in 2005. He is full professor at the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences of the University of Messina and director of the PETASPIN laboratory (Petascale computing and Spintronics).

His research interests include spintronics, skyrmions, and unconventional computing (https:\/\/scholar.google.co.uk\/citations?user=eKDbn-oAAAAJ&hl=en<\/a>). In the last 10 years, he served on many technical program committees of international conferences and organized more than 10 international conferences and workshops as Chair, Program Committee Member, or in other positions including program chair of the IEEE NANO 2024 and program co-chair of the 2025 joint Intermag-MMM conference. He is regularly invited at well-established conferences in Magnetism and Spintronics and he was the organizer of the first international conference on Ising Machines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also president of Petaspin association (www.petaspin.com<\/a>), past AdCOM member of the IEEE Magnetics Society (2019-2024), chair of the TC-16 on Quantum, neuromorphic and unconventional computing of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC), past-chair of the IEEE Magnetics Italy Chapter (2019-2022) and Distinguish Lecturer of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council for 2026 and 2027. Since 2022, he is also associate editor of Physical Review Applied (APS).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
