Theme Lead and Champions

Prof Ji-Seon Kim

Prof Ji-Seon Kim is on the management board of the CPE and is Director of the Plastic Electronics Centre for Doctoral Training. Ji-Seon is the theme lead of our soft electronic materials theme. The theme aligns very well with her own research interests; her group in Physics focuses on the processability and functionality of organic and organic-inorganic hybrid semiconductors for new devices including displays, solar cells, transistors and biosensors.

Felice Torrisi

Dr Felice Torrisi

Dr Felice Torrisi is Champion of our soft electronic materials research theme. Based in Chemistry, Felice's interests span from printed and flexible electronics to photonics with graphene and 2D materials, with particular focus on energy, sensing, wearable electronics and bioelectronics.

Prof Molly Stevens

Prof Molly Stevens

Prof Molly Stevens is Champion of our soft electronic materials research theme from the Department of Materials. Molly leads a large and multidisciplinary research group, with much effort placed on biomaterials, biosensing and materials characterisation.
