Sergio Solinas received his Master's Degree in Physics from the University of Bologna and his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Antwerp (Belgium), pursuing the development of abstract and biologically realistic neural networks. His training and research path aimed at understanding the stability conditions of neural network activity first using mathematical methods and then seeking inspiration in biological reality. During this path, he has always paid particular attention to automatic control systems in their biological realization, the cerebellum, and the computational principles present at the University of Pavia. Furthermore, he developed a model of control of synaptic plasticity exerted by brain growth factors at the Institute of Biophysics of the CNR. He contributed to implementing neural networks using neuromorphic engineering techniques at the Institute of NeuroInformatics of the ETH in Zurich. More recently, he analyzed the dynamics of biologically realistic neural networks of the human hippocampus and the formation of new memories at the University of Sassari. Currently, Dr. Solinas is a researcher and professor of Systems a​nd Control Theory at the University of Sassari.
