Our main research focus is centred on the design and synthesis of new semiconducting materials for organic electronic and bioelectronic applications with the aim of elucidating important structure-property relations and providing new tailored materials to advance the understanding and performance of organic electronic and bioelectronic devices such as organic solar cells, field-effect transistors and biosensors. We develop a wide range of new active electronic materials including molecular additives and dopants, small molecule semiconductors and polymeric semiconductors. Our work spans broadly from the development of new synthetic methodologies for the preparation of pi-conjugated materials to materials characterisation by means of e.g. spectroscopic, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques.
