About

Markus Postl is a leading researcher in the field of printed electronics and organic sensors, with a particular focus on integrating pyroelectric materials and thin-film transistor (TFT) technology for novel sensing applications. His most-cited work, "A printed proximity-sensing surface based on organic pyroelectric sensors and organic thin-film transistor electronics" (2022), has garnered over 60 citations, highlighting its influence in advancing low-cost, flexible, and large-area sensor systems. Postl’s major contribution lies in demonstrating a fully printed, scalable approach to creating proximity-sensing surfaces that leverage organic pyroelectric materials for thermal detection and organic TFTs for signal processing—a breakthrough that bridges the gap between lab-scale organic electronics and practical, real-world interfaces. His research has significant implications for smart surfaces, human-machine interaction, and wearable technology, offering a pathway to environmentally friendly, disposable sensors. By combining materials science, device physics, and circuit design, Postl has established himself as a key innovator in the organic electronics community, with his work frequently cited as a foundational reference for printed sensor arrays.
