HE ROLEYou will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where materials scientists, electrical engineers, nanotechnologists and chemists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The Printed and Molecular Electronics Research Unit is coordinated by Mario Caironi, who has extensive experience in printed organic electronics, with a specific focus on sustainability.
he research will be part of an ambitious European research project "GRETA", coordinated by Mario Caironi.
GRETA will lay the foundation of the first green, printed and flexible organic wireless identification tag operating at Ultra-High Frequency (UHF, 300 MHz - 1 GHz).
The long-term vision is to enable remote powering and readout of tags up to meters distance range, as required in logistics and security, without the need of a battery and with drastically reduced lifecycle impact and costing with respect to any available passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology.
The project sees the collaboration of 7 leading European partners.
he (2) selected candidates at IIT will specifically focus on the following tasks at the heart of GRETA technology.
-Printed organic transistors for sustainable complementary logic circuits based on green materials.
pecific Objectives.
alidation of the newly developed green electronic inks in printed OFETsManufacture printed logic circuits with increased sustainability for the GRETA logic demonstrator (logic gates, oscillators, registers)2-Printed and direct-written organic transistors operating at Ultra-High Frequency based on green materials.
