Pedro Miguel Cândido Barquinha

Pedro Barquinha received his PhD in Nanotechnologies and Nanosciences from NOVA University Lisbon in 2010. He is an Associate Professor at the Materials Science Department of FCT-NOVA and group leader of Materials for Electronics, Optoelectronics and Nanotechnology at Materials Research Center (CENIMAT|I3N). He has 20+ years’ experience in multiple fields within low-temperature electronics, from materials to circuit integration. This has been achieved through >45 research projects with academia and industry, including an ERC Starting Grant (TREND) and an ERC Proof of Concept Grant (FLETRAD). Pedro co-authored 170+ peer-reviewed papers (h-index=57, as May 2024), 3 books and 7 book chapters and is an editor at IEEE EDL and IEEE JFLEX. Since 2022 he is a member of the Portuguese Council for Science, Technology and Innovation and also a member of the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) council.

 

His main scientific interests are:

- Hybrid concepts for sustainable (oxide) thin film semiconductors

- Miniaturization of oxide TFTs using large-area compatible processing technologies

- Flexible and transparent circuits using oxide TFTs

- Ionizing radiation sensitive oxide field effect transistors (ROXFETs)

- Hybrid nanogenerators using oxide nanowires
