Dr Elena Sørensen

Dr Elena Sørensen trained as a chemist — her doctoral work at Technical University of Denmark examined organic semiconductor stability — before crossing into journalism a decade ago. She has covered the printed-electronics materials and equipment beat for European trade titles through the industry's pilot-line years, its consolidation, and its current manufacturing ramp. At +Plastic Electronics she writes the inks, substrates and roll-to-roll brief, and edits our research roundups. She reads patent filings for fun, believes encapsulation is the most under-written story in flexible electronics, and files from wherever the pilot lines are. Elena's reporting is written from her own analysis and reporting of primary sources, and every published piece is edited and approved under editorial review.
