Technical Curriculum
- Born in Tripoli in 1938. Citizen of Italy.
- Received the Dr.Ing. degree in electrical
engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 1962, and the
Libera Docenza in electronic computers from the Italian university system
in 1968. He is currently a professor of computer science at the University
of Pisa, Italy.
- After an industrial experience with Olivetti, he joined the Politecnico di
Milano starting his research activity in logical
design and in programming language translation. In 1966 he moved to M.I.T.
as a staff member at Project MAC,
working in compiling techniques. He then became a
professor at the University of Southern California, and
then at New York University, pursuing research in theoretical
and algorithmic aspects of logical network synthesis.
In 1971 he returned permanently to Italy, as lecturer and later
professor of informatics at the University of Pisa. There he has been
Department chairman for six years, and Coordinator of the Ph.D. program
in Informatics for other six years. In 2012 he has been nominated an Emeritus Professor of the University of Pisa.
- He spent several sabbatical periods as a visiting professor at U.C.L.A.,
the University of Illinois, the National University of Singapore, the
University of Hawaii, and Carleton University in Ottawa.
He has also been a visiting scientist at T.J. Watson Research Center of
IBM, and a distinguished foreign scholar at the NTT LSI Laboratories in
Morinosato, Japan. In 2005 he has been a Fellow of the Italian Academy for Advenced Studies at Columbia University, New York.
- He has pursued intense activities with UNESCO, for the dissemination of
informatics at university level in developing countries. At the
university of Pisa he is responsible for the international relations on
cooperation to development.
- His main research interests are now in algorithm design in sequential,
parallel and distributed environments,
and in the relationship between abstract computational models and realistic
computers and circuits.
- Professor Luccio received the title of Profesor Honorario from the
Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco, Peru, in 1998, and the title of Honorary Professor from the Technical University of Posts and Communications of Xi'an, Cina, and from the Univeristy of the Nationalities of Nanning, China, both in 2012.
He is a Life Fellow of IEEE and a Member of ACM.
