Federico Faggin

President at Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation

Federico Faggin (Vicenza, 1941) è il fisico e inventore italiano che ha progettato il primo microprocessore commerciale al mondo, l'Intel 4004 (1971). Mentre lavorava alla Fairchild Semiconductor nel 1968 aveva già creato la tecnologia MOS silicon gate, che ha reso possibili i chip di memoria a semiconduttore, i sensori d'immagine e il microprocessore stesso. Guidò poi lo sviluppo dell'Intel 8008 e 8080, e fu cofondatore e CEO di Zilog — la prima azienda interamente dedicata ai microprocessori — dove guidò la creazione del leggendario Z80. Nel 1986 cofondò Synaptics, da cui nacquero il touchpad e il touchscreen che hanno trasformato il modo in cui usiamo i dispositivi mobili. Tra i suoi riconoscimenti, la National Medal of Technology and Innovation, ricevuta nel 2010 dalle mani del Presidente Obama, e il Premio Enrico Fermi 2014. Oggi dedica la sua ricerca allo studio scientifico della coscienza attraverso la Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation, sostenendo la tesi — al cuore della sua riflessione su uomo e macchina — che la coscienza umana sia irriducibile e non replicabile da alcun computer
