研究领域

The Nguyen Group conducts research on organic electronic devices, such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors. We characterize devices and the organic, semiconducting materials utilized in these devices by a variety of electrical, optical, and structural measurements to elucidate the influence of chemical structure on the properties and performance of devices. With an ever-evolving understanding of the underlying mechanisms that govern device performance, we can design new materials, processes, and device architectures to progress this field toward commercially viable, light-weight, and flexible organic electronics.
