Biography: Luigi Accardi was born in Naples on 13.8.1947. With his Degree in Mathematics cum laude, at University of Naples 31.10.1970, he won the Prize Vittorio Nobile for the best degree in Mathematics. After  a Scolarship at the Laboratorio di Cibernetica of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Arco Felice, Napoli, in 1972 became researcher of the CNR at the same  laboratory. 

He spent 4 years in Moscow within the framework of the agreements CNR-URSS Academy of Sciences, and obtained  the title Candidat Nauk at the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics of  Moscow University, with a thesis on Noncommutative Markov theory and square roots of measures  under the supervision of prof. I.M. Gelfand. In this period he worked at the Institute of Control Sciences in Moscow at the Laboratory directed by prof. M.A. Aizerman and at the Cathedra of Functional Analysis of Moscow University. Until 1982 he worked as resercher for CNR in Italy and France (Luminy, CNRS). In 1982 became Professor of Probability theory at the University of Roma Tor Vergata and traveled as Visiting Professor worldwide. In 1996 he become Professor at the Graduate School of Polymathematics, Nagoya University. From 1998 to the present he is Professor at the Faculty of Economy of the University of Roma Torvergata.

He has been member of Organizing, Scientific or Program Committe of many national and international conferences. He has been organizer of the "Workshop on Information Security" (Tokyo, 15 September 2011). The Workshop is included in the session "Italy in Japan 2011: Science, Technology and Innovation". The topic of the workshop is the main research theme of the joint Italo-Japanese Research Laboratory for Information Security with venue in the Research Institute of Tokyo University of Science, co-founded with the Centro V. Volterra and presently involved in several industrial projects related to applications of cryptography.
