Sabina Spiga is Research Director at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM). She received her Degree in Physics from the University of Bologna in 1995 and earned a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Milan in 2002.

Her research focuses on the development of memristive devices that exploit ionic and electronic phenomena at the nanoscale to emulate synaptic and neuronal function in hardware, enabling advances in neuromorphic and unconventional information processing.

Spiga has served as Principal Investigator for CNR in several national and Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe projects, including MeM-Scales, Neuram³ and Neurotech, and is currently involved in the European IPCEI ME/CT initiative. She is presently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.
