Vincenzo Pecunia

Vincenzo Pecunia, PhD Cantab., FIMMM, SMIEEE, is an Associate Professor and Principal Investigator at the School of Sustainable Energy Engineering, Simon Fraser University (Canada). He earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electronics Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Subsequently, he obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge (UK), where he also worked as a postdoctoral scientist.

Prof. Pecunia's research has addressed the physics of printable, eco-friendly optoelectronic materials—with a focus on organic, amorphous-metal-oxide, and perovskite-inspired semiconductors—and their applications in optoelectronic devices (e.g., solar cells, photodetectors, and thin-film transistors). In recognition of his contributions to the field, Prof. Pecunia has been awarded the Fellowship of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM) and the Senior Membership of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (SMIEEE).

Prof. Pecunia has published in highly reputable journals such as Nature, Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, and Nano Energy. Drawing from his research experience, Prof. Pecunia has also authored the books 'Organic Narrowband Photodetectors' (Institute of Physics Publishing, iopscience.iop.org/book/978-0-7503-2663-6) and 'Organic and Amorphous-Metal-Oxide Flexible Analogue Electronics' (Cambridge University Press, www.cambridge.org/pecunia).
