Mario Barra

Mario Barra is a Staff Researcher at CNR-SPIN (Uos Naples) and affiliated with the Department of Physics at the University of Naples Federico II. His career spans two decades of research in organic and hybrid electronic materials, transitioning from superconducting microwave devices (2000-2004) to organic semiconductors (2005-present).

• Education:
  • 2000: M.A. in Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude), University of Naples Federico II
  • 2004: PhD in Innovative Technologies for Materials, Sensors and Imaging, University of Naples Federico II

His research interests focus on:

• Organic film growth and morphological characterization
• Charge transport at micro/nano-scales in organic semiconductors
• Charge-transfer and doping effects in hybrid materials
• Impedance spectroscopy for bio-electronic applications
• Ionic/electronic transduction in organic transistors
• Novel systems combining 2D materials with organic molecules

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals expertise in organic electrochemical transistors, MXene-integrated biomedical materials, asymmetrical organic semiconductor design, and advanced biosensing platforms.

He has co-supervised approximately 25 Master's theses in Electronic, Biomedical, and Chemical Engineering. His work involves collaborations with institutions like UPC Barcelona, CNR Bologna, and University of Geneva.
