About

Costantino Davide Critello is a leading figure in sensor technology and biomedical instrumentation, whose work bridges fundamental materials science with practical engineering applications. His most influential contribution is the landmark review, "Theory, technology and applications of piezoresistive sensors: A review" (2018), which has amassed over 560 citations—a testament to its role as a definitive resource for researchers and engineers working on pressure and strain sensing. This work systematically maps the field, from underlying physical principles to cutting-edge applications. Critello has also made significant strides in ultrasonic sensing, particularly through his comprehensive review of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) ultrasonic sensors for in-air applications (2021). By detailing the unique ferroelectric properties of PVDF and its use in transducers since the 1980s, he has helped revitalize interest in this versatile material for non-contact sensing. His research is characterized by a deep integration of theoretical modeling with device fabrication, often targeting medical and industrial challenges. Through these contributions, Critello has established himself as a key synthesizer and innovator, providing the foundational knowledge that enables next-generation sensor systems.
