About

Federica Sordo is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional fibers and smart textiles, with a particular focus on integrating electronic and optoelectronic capabilities into soft, wearable formats. Her most-cited work, "Advanced Multimaterial Electronic and Optoelectronic Fibers and Textiles" (2018, 268 citations), addresses a critical challenge in modern manufacturing: embedding complex electronic functionalities directly into thin, flexible fibers. This foundational contribution has positioned her at the forefront of developing multifunctional, connected fiber devices that are essential for the next generation of smart textiles and wearable technology. By pioneering methods to combine disparate materials within a single fiber, Sordo’s research enables textiles that can sense, communicate, and even generate light, bridging the gap between traditional fabrics and high-performance electronics. Her work has significant implications for healthcare monitoring, interactive clothing, and energy harvesting. With a growing citation impact and a focus on scalable manufacturing, Sordo continues to drive innovation in a field that promises to seamlessly integrate technology into the fabric of everyday life.
