Electronic and photonic materials (EFM)

Research in electronic and photonic materials is focused on the development of organic electronics for energy conversion and storage.

In particular we study organic photovoltaics and biopolymer based electrodes, and the combination of biological macromolecules with synthetic conjugated polymers for supramolecular materials assembly.

Research at Electronic and photonic materials

Groups

Optoelectronics

We are a multidisciplinary team focusing on solution-processed optoelectronic devices, with a passion for both fundamental science and new applications of these materials and devices.

Functional electronic materials

In the Functional Electronic Materials group, we conduct scientific research on various state-of-the-art materials.

Biomolecular and organic electronics

Regarding research on solar cells, we study structure formation when solutions of conjugated organic molecules form solid films

Doctoral education

Doctoral studies in Applied Physics

Research in Applied Physics aims to apply the methods, models and approaches of physics in fields such as surface and molecular physics, biotechnology, lab-on-a-chip, organic electronics, self-organising materials, and polymeric and soft materials.
