Curriculum

Pier Paolo Civalleri was born in Turin, Italy, on 17 June 1934.
He received the degree in Electrical Engineering from the Polytechnic of Turin
in 1959 and the degree of Professor in Network Theory (Libera Docenza) from the
Department of Public Education in 1966.
From 1960 to 1970 he was a researcher and from 1971 to 1975 a Research Director
at Istituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris, Turin, Italy. From 1967 to 1986
he was a Professor of Applied Mathematics and since 1975 he has been the Professor
of Electrical Engineering for the Electrical Engineering Course in the Polytechnic of
Turin.
From 1975 to 1981 he was the Director of the Institute of Mathematics of
the Polytechnic of Turin. From 1960 to 2006 he has been the Professor of Electrical
Engineering in the Scuola di Applicazione of the Army. Since 1989 he has been a
corresponding member and since 2005 a national member of the Accademia delle
Scienze di Torino. He has been a member of the New York Academy of Sciences
from 1993 to 2002. He is a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers.
He was the President of the North-Italy Section of IEEE (1979-1980) and the
President of the Turin Section of the Associazione Elettrotecnica ed Elettronica Italiana
(AEI) (1981-1983).He is currently a life member of the Board of Directors of
the same Section.

He was a co-founder and a member of the Scientific Committee of
the Center for System Studies, Turin, Italy. He was a visiting Professor in Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY, in 1977, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1986. He has been a member of
the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications,
Wiley-Interscience since 1974. He has been an Associate Editor of the Journal of
Circuits, Systems and Computers, World-Scientific Publishing Co., Singapore and
Teaneck (USA). He has been the TCAS-I Associate Editor for Distributed Networks
1995-1997 and the TCAS-I Editor 1997-1999.
His research interests have covered network topology, analysis and synthesis of
single-element-kind networks, multilayer n-port analysis, modeling of active and passive
distributed circuits, controllability and observability of linear systems, modeling
of dielectric guides, cellular neural networks and nonlinear dynamics. His present interests
are mainly in the field of nanocircuits. He is the author of over 120 scientific
publications and of the book “Elettrotecnica” in Italian.
He was awarded the IEEE Centennial Medal in 1984.
