About

Fernando Torres-Canas is a leading figure in the development of printed micro-energy storage devices, with a primary focus on advancing the performance and manufacturability of microcapacitors. His most-cited work, "Inkjet Printing of Latex‐Based High‐Energy Microcapacitors" (2019, 25 citations), demonstrates a breakthrough in fabricating high-energy microcapacitors using a scalable, inkjet-printing approach. This research directly addresses the critical demand for miniaturized power sources in applications ranging from microelectromechanical systems and robotics to wearable electronics and sensing microsystems. By leveraging latex-based materials, Torres-Canas has pioneered a method that balances high energy density with the practical requirements of additive manufacturing, enabling the production of flexible, lightweight, and high-performance energy storage components. His contributions are pivotal for the next generation of autonomous microdevices, where efficient, on-board power is essential. Through his work, Torres-Canas has established himself as an innovator at the intersection of materials science and printed electronics, offering a viable pathway toward integrating energy storage directly into the fabrication of complex microsystems.
