Dr. Mario Caironi studied at “Politecnico di Milano” (Milan, Italy), where 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 was appointed as a Team Leader at the Center for Nano Science and Technology (CNST) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Milan, Italy). In 2014, Mario entered the tenure track at the same institution and obtained a tenured researcher position in 2019, where he leads the Printed and Molecular Electronics (PME) group.
He is author and co-author of more than 130 scientific papers in international journals and books. He is currently interested in solution-based high resolution printing techniques for micro-electronic, opto-electronic and thermoelectric device fabrication, in the device physics of organic semiconductors based field-effect transistors and their integration in high-frequency printed circuits, and in biomedical and/or implantable sensors and electronics for healthcare. Mario is a 2014 starting ERC grantee and a 2019 consolidator grantee.
