Fabio Cicoira is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. His research focuses on the development of flexible, stretchable, and self-healing electronic materials and devices, with a particular interest in organic electronics, bioelectronics, organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), and biocompatible electronic systems.
His research aims to rethink the design of electronic materials to make them mechanically conformable, durable, and functional in complex environments, particularly for applications in healthcare, wearable devices, and biointegrated technologies. His research employs an interdisciplinary approach combining polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, materials science, and device engineering, with a growing emphasis on the durability, repairability, and recyclability of electronic systems.
Fabio Cicoira obtained his doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), after undergraduate and graduate studies in chemistry at the University of Bologna, supplemented by an internship at CERN. Before joining Polytechnique Montréal, he was a Marie Curie scholar at Cornell University, a researcher at the Italian National Research Council, and a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute of Scientific Research in Montreal.
