About
Pier Carlo Ricci is a leading figure in the development of advanced organic electronics and flexible sensor technologies. His research focuses on the design and fabrication of novel tactile and multimodal sensing systems, with a particular emphasis on integrating organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials. Ricci’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering work on ultrathin, flexible, and multimodal tactile sensors, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2018 study (115 citations). In this work, he introduced a groundbreaking approach to fabricating a sensor that simultaneously detects temperature and force on conformable substrates, coupling a charge-modulated organic field-effect transistor (OCMFET) with a piezoelectric element. This innovation enables unprecedented levels of flexibility and sensitivity, making it ideal for applications in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces. Ricci’s achievements have significantly advanced the field of organic electronics, offering scalable solutions for next-generation smart sensors. His work continues to inspire researchers seeking to merge high-performance sensing with mechanical compliance.
