Summary
Thomas Anthopoulos is a Professor of Experimental Physics in the Department of Physics and The Centre for Plastic Electronics, Imperial College London. He received his B.Eng., and Ph.D., from Staffordshire University in UK. He then moved to University of St. Andrews where he worked on organic light-emitting diodes. In 2003 he joined Philips Research Laboratories in The Netherlands to work on organic semiconductors for use in opto/electronic devices and integrated circuits. In 2005 he was awarded an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship and in 2007 a RCUK Fellowship both hosted in the Department of Physics, Imperial College London. His current research interest is focused on the physics of novel organics, inorganics and hybrid materials and devices. Ongoing research projects include:
- Novel inorganic transparent semiconductors
- High-mobility organic semiconductors & devices
- Nanoscale opto/electronic devices & systems
- Transparent photo-transistors for invisible electronics
- Charge carrier transport in semiconductors & devices
- Novel nano-lithography methods for plastic nanoelectronics
- Novel device concepts for energy harvesting & generation
