Luca Gammaitoni (Perugia, June 16, 1961) is a scientist in the area of noise and nonlinear dynamics. He is currently the Director of the Noise in Physical System Laboratory (NiPS Lab) at the Physics Department of the Università di Perugia, in Italy.

Education and career

He graduated in Physics at the University of Perugia and obtained his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pisa in 1991 (S. Santucci advisor). His thesis was entitled "Stochastic Resonance". He is currently Professor at the Faculty of Science of the University of Perugia in Italy. He is also the founder and CEO of Wisepower srl, a spin-off of the University of Perugia and the President of Wisepower Corp. based in Arcadia (CA), USA. He has authored more than 120 papers on top-level scientific journals and few books. His papers have been cited more than 5000 times.

The Noise in Physical Systems (NiPS) (www.nipslab.org) Laboratory is a research facility within the Physics Department of the University of Perugia. NiPS has a long-standing tradition in studying physical systems in the presence of noise. Scientific interest ranges from stochastic nonlinear dynamics modelling to thermal noise measurements.


Wisepower srl (www.wisepower.it) is a university spin-off company focussed on the design and prototypation of micro-energy generator. The company holds patents on vibration-to-electricity nonlinear conversion technology.
