A researchers from the University of California San Diego have been elected senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) in recognition of their innovative work.
Professor of Physics Massimiliano di Ventra is part of NAI’s 2025 class of senior members. This year’s cohort of 162 inventors comes from 64 NAI member institutions around the country and is the largest class to date. Collectively, they are named inventors on over 1200 U.S. patents.
NAI senior members are recognized for innovative research and producing technologies that have brought, or aspire to bring, real impact to society. Members also have a track record of securing patents, licensing and commercialization for the technologies they create, while also educating and mentoring the next generation of inventors.
Massimiliano Di Ventra is a theoretical physicist who has driven technological innovation all his career. He holds 11 patents (including seven foreign patents) in the fields of materials science, DNA/RNA sequencing and computing, and many of which have been licensed. His most significant patents are related to the improvement of the SiO2-SiC interface for high-power electronics and radio frequency applications; methods for the noise reduction in nucleic acid and macromolecule sequencing using his proposed quantum sequencing approach; and the invention of a new computing paradigm he named MemComputing, where memory is used to both store and process information.
He is co-founder of MemComputing, Inc., which works to solve some of the most challenging optimization problems in academia, industry, and the Department of Defense. The company has released cloud-based software and is developing hardware for AI applications.
Di Ventra has delivered more than 350 talks worldwide and has published more than 300 papers and five textbooks. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics, among others. In 2018 he was named Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics.
