Dianne Corsino

Dianne Corsino is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, specializing in the fabrication and characterization of flexible electronics. Her research bridges materials science and electrical engineering to develop innovative thin-film transistor technologies for next-generation wearable and transparent electronic systems.

Dr. Corsino earned her academic credentials through international training, completing her Bachelor of Science in Materials Engineering from the University of the Philippines – Diliman (2016), followed by a Master of Engineering (2018) and Doctor of Engineering (2021) in Materials Science from Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. Her graduate work focused on atomic layer deposition techniques for oxide semiconductor passivation and photo-assisted methods for transforming oxide semiconductors into conductors.

Her research expertise centers on flexible thin-film transistors using oxide semiconductor materials, with particular emphasis on fully solution-processed fabrication techniques that eliminate expensive vacuum processing. Dr. Corsino has developed significant expertise in photo-assisted methods including UV irradiation and laser technologies, and has made notable contributions to self-aligned transistor architectures that improve high-frequency performance on transparent flexible substrates. Her work addresses critical challenges in flexible electronics including device miniaturization, mechanical stability during bending, and environmental reliability.

Analysis of Dr. Corsino's publication record reveals a consistent progression from fundamental materials processing to sophisticated device integration. Her recent work demonstrates increasing innovation in transistor architecture, with multiple publications on self-aligned structures achieving channel lengths below 5μm and oscillation frequencies exceeding 100MHz. A unifying theme across her research is the development of cost-effective manufacturing approaches that maintain high device performance, particularly through solution-based processing and photo-functionalization techniques that operate at low temperatures compatible with flexible substrates.

Dr. Corsino maintains active research collaborations across Europe, particularly with colleagues at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano where she currently works, and retains connections with Japanese institutions where she completed her graduate studies. Her publication record demonstrates strong interdisciplinary work spanning materials science, electrical engineering, and nanotechnology, with frequent contributions to IEEE journals and international conferences in flexible electronics.
