Prof. A. S. Fiorillo
Staff
Antonino S. Fiorillo graduated in Electronic Engineering in 1984 and earned a Ph.D. in Electronic Devices and Technologies in 1988, both at University of Pisa, Italy. From 1984 to 1991 he was Research Scientist at “Centro E. Piaggio”, School of Engineering, (University of Pisa), where he was involved in the development of proximity and tactile sensors based on ferroelectric polymer technology for robotic applications. He was Assistant Professor at both University of Salerno and University of Sannio, from 1991 to 2003, when he was awarded with the position of Associate Professor in Electronics and Sensors at University of Magna Græcia in Catanzaro, Italy, where he is presently working. He was Visiting Scientist (from 1987 to 1997) and then Visiting Professor (from 1997 to 2002) at “Center of Sensor Technologies”, University of Pennsylvania, PA.
His primary research interests are in the area of discrete and silicon integrated sensors based on ferroelectric and conducting polymers for application in the fields of robotics and medicine, besides electrical brain stimulation and interfacing of electronic and biological systems with nanoporous materials on silicon.
