Pier Luigi Gentili is an Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Perugia (Italy). He received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Perugia in 2004. His research and teaching activities are focused on Complex Systems. He is the author of the book titled “Untangling Complex Systems: A Grand Challenge for Science” (CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2018), which is an interdisciplinary investigation into Complex Systems. He works on Natural Computing to untangle Complexity from both an ontological and an epistemological point of view. Being aware that inanimate matter is driven by force fields, whereas the interactions between biological systems are also information-based, Gentili is driven by questions like the following ones. “When does a chemical system become intelligent?” Is it possible to develop a “Chemical Artificial Intelligence?” For the development of the Chemical Artificial Intelligence, Pier Luigi Gentili is tracing a new path in the field of Neuromorphic Engineering by using non-linear chemical systems and encoding information mainly through UV-visible signals. Furthermore, he is proposing methods to process Fuzzy logic by molecular, supramolecular, and systems chemistry. He is editor of the book titled "The Fuzziness in Molecular, Supramolecular, and Systems Chemistry" published by MDPI in 2020.
