About
Antonella Macagnano is a leading figure in the development of flexible and bio-inspired sensing technologies, with a particular focus on gas and chemical sensors. Her research bridges materials science, microelectronics, and environmental monitoring, often leveraging nanostructured materials and organic polymers to create highly sensitive, selective, and wearable sensor platforms. Her most-cited work, "Flexible sensing systems based on polysilicon thin film transistors technology" (2012, 69 citations), exemplifies her contribution to integrating thin-film transistors into flexible substrates, enabling low-cost, large-area sensor arrays for applications ranging from air quality monitoring to food safety. Beyond this, Macagnano has pioneered the use of biomimetic approaches—such as exploiting the olfactory system’s mechanisms—to design artificial noses and electronic tongues. Her impact is reflected in a sustained record of high-quality publications and collaborations across Europe, where her work has informed the development of smart textiles and environmental sensors. She is also recognized for her role in advancing sustainable sensor fabrication methods, making her a key voice in the transition toward greener, more versatile electronic systems.
