About

Francesco Modica is a researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics manufacturing, specializing in the automation of assembly processes for film-based components. His work addresses a critical bottleneck in the industry: the manual removal of protective films during the assembly of flexible electronics. Through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental validation, Modica has developed a deeper understanding of the mechanics governing protective film removal, paving the way for automated, high-throughput production. His 2022 study, "Numerical and experimental study on protective film removal towards the automation of flexible electronics assembly," has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its relevance to both academic and industrial audiences. By tackling the challenges of handling delicate, thin-film materials, Modica’s contributions directly support the scalability of flexible electronics—a technology with transformative potential in wearables, medical devices, and IoT applications. His work bridges the gap between fundamental mechanics and practical automation, making him a key figure in advancing the next generation of electronic assembly.
