LEAF – “SeLf-powered self-rEshaping Autarkic skin For wireless motes” is a Horizon Europe project hosted by NOVA.id.FCT at CENIMAT|i3N , located at the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa in Caparica. The hired researcher will join a materials-focused environment that brings together Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics and Nanotechnology in a project centered on sustainable inks based on metal oxide nanostructures and their use in printed electronic devices . The researcher will develop and optimize ink formulations and printing processes, then use them to fabricate and characterize antennas and sensors for humidity detection and visible-light response . The work specifically involves flexography and screen printing , alongside device fabrication and the characterization of printed structures. The project also mentions sustainable, self-powered, autarkic skin-like systems for wireless motes, placing the work at the intersection of advanced functional materials and applied printed electronics. The position is based at CENIMAT|i3N, part of the FCT-NOVA campus at Caparica, with travel in Portugal or abroad as needed for the research activity. The appointment is for a full-time, unfixed-term contract linked to the project.
