Design and integration of organic and inorganic devices

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

I propose the investigation of organic and printed electronics platform technologies based on organic and semiconducting, as well as printable inorganic, functional materials. My long-term goal is to develop a new generation of micro/nano systems based on inexpensive, printable, and self-powering devices that can be embedded into almost any fabric such as glass, polymer, or cotton. The focus of the proposed research, and areas where major breakthroughs are anticipated, will be on new low-cost fabrication processes, high performance design structures, and integration technologies. Key applications such as organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), flexible displays, flexible batteries, and the integration of these components into fabrics, will be used to identify the real-world needs and challenges.
