The scientific community is poised to make significant technological breakthroughs that will enable the advancement of flexible, lightweight, low-cost electronic devices such as photovoltaics, light emitting diodes and field-effect transistors. Conjugated organic materials are at the core of these emerging technologies. Therefore, great effort is dedicated to their assembly and functionalization. Improvements of the material properties arise from advances in the design and synthesis of new molecular architectures. As Canada Research Chair in Organic Material Synthesis, I will undertake research aimed at discovering new ways to produce these materials which will enhance our ability to apply current technology more efficiently and streamline the discovery of new materials with enhanced properties.
