Mario Caironi
Team leader researcher
Bio
Mario Caironi was born in Bergamo (Italy) in 1978. He studied at “Politecnico di Milano” (Milan, Italy) where, under the supervision of Prof. Marco Sampietro, he obtained his Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering in 2003 and a Ph.D. in Information Technology with honours in 2007, with a thesis on organic photodetectors and memory devices.
In March 2007 he joined the group of Prof. Henning Sirringhaus at the Cavendish Laboratory (Cambridge, UK) as a post-doctoral research associate.
He worked in Cambridge for 3 years on high resolution inkjet printing of downscaled organic transistors and logic gates, and on charge injection and transport in high mobility polymers.
In April 2010 he has been appointed as a team leader at the Center for Nano Science and Technology of the Italian Institute of Technology (CNST-IIT@Polimi, Milan, Italy).
He is author and co-author of more than 20 scientific papers in international journals and books. He is currently interested in solution based high resolution printing techniques for opto-electronic devices fabrication, in the device physics of organic semiconductors based field-effect transistors and their integration in printed circuits, and in solution processed organic photodetectors for imaging and X-rays detection applications.
