Ana Arias

PROFILE:

Ana Claudia Arias currently manages PARC's Printed Electronic Devices group, which uses inkjet printing techniques to fabricate organic, active matrix display backplanes for paper-like displays and flexible sensors. She also serves as principal investigator for PARC’s DARPA sensor-tape program. Internationally recognized for her expertise in polymer-based electronics and printed electronics, including OLEDs, photovoltaics, and TFTs, Dr. Arias holds a doctorate in physics (polymer photovoltaics) from Cambridge University.

Prior to joining PARC, Dr. Arias served as the semiconductor materials group leader of Plastic Logic Limited, a startup company in the U.K. that develops flexible printed backplanes for displays. She received her Master’s and bachelor degrees in physics from Brazil’s Federal University of Paraná, where she focused on the use of semiconducting polymers for light emitting diodes.
