About

Luca De Pamphilis is pioneering the future of large-area, flexible electronics, with a focus on printed nanomaterial devices for sensing and neuromorphic computing. His research centers on the synthesis and site-selective integration of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires for high-performance, flexible ultraviolet photodetectors, a key component for wearable health monitors and electronic skin (e-skin) in robotics. In his most cited work (2023, 16 citations), he demonstrated an all-printed ZnO nanowire photodetector that achieves exceptional flexibility and performance, addressing a critical bottleneck in the mass production of sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT). Expanding into memory and computation, De Pamphilis has also fabricated printed memristor arrays with ultralow switching voltages on flexible substrates (2024, 10 citations). This achievement is a major step toward brain-inspired, edge-computing systems that can process the vast data generated by sensor networks locally, reducing reliance on cloud computing. By combining scalable printing techniques with precise nanowire synthesis, his work lays the foundation for truly intelligent, autonomous flexible electronics—from wearable diagnostics to adaptive robotics.
