Francesca Brunetti

Prof. Francesca Brunetti, FRSC, received her PhD in Telecommunications and Microelectronics from the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2005. In 2005, she was awarded of a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship spent in the Institute for Nanoelectronics of the Technical University of Munich, Germany. In 2006 she became researcher in the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and since 2018, she is associated professor at the same Department. Cofounder of the Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata (CHOSE, www.chose.it), that she was directing from 2022 to 2025, her current research is focused on the analysis, design and manufacture of electronic and optoelectronic devices through the use of organic and perovskites semiconductors realized on rigid and flexible substrates. In particular, she is working third-generation organic solar cells on flexible substrates, flexible perovskite solar cells and large area modules applied in several fields from Building Integration to IoT to Space. Recently, she started an activity on the realization of supercapacitors on flexible and recyclable substrates, among which paper and their integration with photovoltaic devices (photocopacitors). Coordinator of several national and international projects, currently she is coordinating an EIC pathfinder project ' JUMP INTO SPACE' (https://www.jumpintospace.eu/) and an ASI founded project 'ENFORSPACE' related to the use of perovskite solar cells and modules for Space applications. She is fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Associated Editor of 'Sustainable Energy and Fuels' a Royal Society of Chemistry Journal focused on renewables.
