Mario Caironi is a Tenure Track Researcher at the Center for Nano Science and Technology (CNST) in Milan, Italy, of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. He obtained his PhD in 2007 from the "Politecnico di Milano" and then joined Prof. Henning Sirringhaus' group at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, UK, to work on inkjet-printed, downscaled organic field-effect transistors (OFET) and on charge injection and transport in high-mobility polymers. In 2010 he was appointed as a Team Leader at CNST and entered tenure track in 2014 in the same institution.
His current research interests are on direct-writing and roll-to-roll printing processes for organic and hybrid micro- and opto-electronics, on the device physics of OFETSs and on organic thermoelectrics.
 
Yong-Young Noh is Associate Professor in the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering at Dongguk University in Seoul, Republic of Korea. He received his PhD in 2005 from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Republic of Korea, and then worked at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, UK, as a postdoctoral associate with Prof. Henning Sirringhaus from 2005 t0 2007. Afterwards, he worked at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Republic of Korea, as a senior researcher from 2008 to 2009, and at Hanbat National University as assistant professor from 2010 to 2012. Yong-Young Noh has received Merck Young Scientist Award (2013) and Korea President Award (2014). He has expertise in materials, process and device physics of organic and printed electronics for flexible electronics, especially printed OFETs, carbon nanotube or oxide TFTs and OLEDs.
