On March 13th, 2023 at 2.00 pm Gianluca Fiori, Professor at the University of Pisa, will give a seminar on "Electronic applications enabled by two-dimensional materials" in DEIB Beta Room.

Electronics is always seeking for new materials and novel device concepts able to allow to keep the pace of Moore's Law, as well as to pave the way towards new applications enabled by new technologies. This is particularly important today, where we are witnessing a continuous and dramatic increase in the demand of pervasive and versatile electronics - especially in the field of wearable electronics, mobile healthcare, sport and well-being to Internet of Things (IoT) technology - where novel solutions are a "conditio-sine-qua-non" for their fabrication and, eventually, for their industrialization. Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) are considered as a potential candidate technology for the above mentioned applications, ranging from from high-performance and ultra-scaled devices, to flexible and wearable electronics applications, due to their extraordinary mechanical and electrical characteristics, they have shown up to now. In this talk, I will show recent results on this topic, while addressing the main issues this technological option is currently facing, and providing the perspectives (from an engineering point of view) for electronic applications.

Gianluca Fiori is Professor of Electronics at University of Pisa, from which he obtained the PhD in 2005. Prof. Fiori’s field of activity includes the modelling, the fabrication and electrical characterization of novel devices based on new architectures and new materials. Prof. Fiori has a renowned expertise in assessing device performance against Industry requirements, through the exploitation of purposely-devised multi-scale, multi-physics in-house atomistic simulators. Prof. Fiori’s interest also focuses on printed electronics, aiming at obtaining fully printed integrated circuits on flexible substrates as paper.


The event will be held online by Webex.
