POSITION 2:

Organic Electronics (Position code: SOLDANO)

In this position, you will have the opportunity to conduct experimental research in both materials and device physics. The main research work will be carried out in the field of organic transistors and light-emitting devices, with a particular interest in the general understanding of the device properties as well as the overall development and improvement of the performances. In particular, organic light-emitting devices (transistors) are a rather yet largely unexplored device platform, holding tremendous potentials both in terms of fundamental studies as well as technological applications. Large efforts are expected to be devoted to study physical phenomena such as charge/field-effect transport and light emission/sensing, with a particular interest in new semiconductor and luminescent materials and material’s interface. The work is expected to result in high-impact scientific publications and communications at national/international conferences. Doctoral training will include study of materials properties, device fabrication and electro-optical characterization, using facilities available in the Organic Electronics Lab and Aalto University facility (Micronova). More information can be found at .

For more information, please contact Prof. Caterina Soldano,
