Luciano Lanotte is a retired full professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Naples Federico II. He has published over 125 papers in accredited international journals, focused on the field of innovative magnetic materials, with both experimental and theoretical contributions. He has obtained internationally recognized scientific expertise, particularly in the more specific field of elastomagnetic materials and their applications in sensors. In fact, he was (i) chairman of the 1st MEA ’93 “International Conference on Magnetoelastic Effects and Applications” Capri, 24-26 May 1993; (ii) organizer of the symposium “Magnetostrictive, magnetoelastic, multiferroic, ferromagnetic shape memory materials and application” for Joint European Magnetic Symposia, JEMS 06, San Sebastian, 26-30 June 2006; (iii) organizer of the symposium “Magnetic shape memory, magnetoelastic and multifunctional materials” for Joint European Magnetic Symposia, JEMS 12, September 9-14, Parma, Italy. In 2009, he was awarded the “Award as valued reviewer, for contribution to the quality of Sensors and Actuators A”.
