Presentation

Though my early interests included quantum chemical modeling of
electronic structure in condensed organic materials, my research is now
centered on experimental studies of semiconducting and conducting
organic and hybrid organic systems.

The approach is to do "basic" science on topics of technological importance. A wide variety of surface science techniques are used with emphasis on photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption, carried out at synchrotron radiation laboratories and using XPS/UPS equipment in our labs.

Coming soon to a window near you

Progress in research into organic solar cells has been rapid in recent years. These cells are environmentally sensitive, can be printed onto large surfaces, and open completely new possibilities for husbanding the energy of the sun.

Organic solar cells: coming soon near you

Organic printed solar cells will soon be in a window or a bag near you. In “Sunflower”, the recently-concluded EU project, researchers and businesses brought the technology a great deal closer to our everyday lives.
