Gianluca Fiori, professor of Electronics at the University of Pisa, has been elevated to the grade of Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s leading organization for electrical and electronic engineering and information technology “for his scientific contributions to the study and modeling of advanced materials for electronic applications.”
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was founded in 1963 as a professional organization for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and related disciplines. Today, it is a global network of more than 486,000 engineering and STEM professionals across a variety of disciplines whose core purpose is to foster technological innovation for the benefit of humanity.
The Fellow grade of membership is the highest level of membership, and it is conferred by the IEEE board of directors in recognition of a high level of demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.
Gianluca Fiori is Professor of Electronics at the University of Pisa. His research spans the modelling, fabrication, and electrical characterization of novel electronic devices based on advanced materials and innovative architectures. Prof. Fiori is recognized for his expertise in assessing device performance against industrial requirements, leveraging purposely designed multi-scale, multi-physics atomistic simulators. He is also the main developer of the open-source NanoTCAD ViDES code (BSD license), widely regarded as a benchmark tool for simulating electronic devices based on two-dimensional materials.
Since 2017, through the ERC Consolidator Grant PEP2D, the ERC Proof-of-Concept PREPRINT, and now the ERC Synergy Grant SKIN2DTRONICS, he has been advancing cutting-edge research in flexible and printed electronics founded on advanced materials. His work has enabled several pioneering demonstrations of printed, low-cost devices and circuits, and has expanded toward the realization of conformable and wearable electronic systems by integrating advanced materials with innovative manufacturing approaches to achieve mechanically robust, next-generation technologies.
Prof. Fiori is Associate Editor of NPJ 2D Materials and Applications (Nature Publishing Group), a leading journal in the field. Since 2025, he has also served as Vice-Chair of the IAM-I Association, the private side of the co-programmed European Partnership IAM4EU, where he contributes to shaping Europe’s strategic agenda for advanced materials.
