And just like that…organic electronics make their way into Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MIT-MRL and DMSE at MIT! With the help of Sanket Samal, trying to spread the excitement I felt when JEONGmei first introduced me to conjugated polymers, I think it’s working! Stay tuned for OMSELab!

My lab is featured in this year's Early Career Materials Researcher Issue by MRS Communications! Congrats to Heejung, Camille Cunin, and Sanket Samal for getting the first lab's prospective published! tinyurl.com/3rvma37n

Open-source tutorials and softwares are such valuable resources for graduate students! A couple of YouTube videos, a lot of playing around, and here we are! Proud to have my first Blender graphic chosen as a cover image for MRS Communications, Vol.12 No.5. 🥰

Organic electronics keep on improving! Researchers at Northwestern University have found a creative way to make polymer-based transistors faster and higher performing than ever before. So impressive that Camille Cunin, PhD candidate in my lab, had to write about it!

Just out in the journal Small: 1st research paper by the OMSELab Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)! Congrats all coauthors (Sanket Samal, Heejung, Camille Cunin, Geon Gug) for getting this done while setting up the lab!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

Over the week, 1) attended the Bao group reunion, 2) organized an electrochromic symposium in San Francisco, 3) chaired 38th H C Brown symposium, and 4) got promoted to full professor. At MRS, five students presented, they all did a great job, way better than I did as a student.

Please share and retweet: UTEP CHEMISTRY is seeking applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor faculty position in the broad scope of computational chemistry( utep.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetail…). #facultychemjobs #chemtwitter

Just out in ACS Sensors: we teamed up with Dinca's group Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (@DincaGroupMIT) and Kim's lab at KAIST to demonstrate polymer-based sensors for real time monitoring of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas! Link: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Latest publication in Nature Electronics! A huge thank you and congratulations to Jaehyun and all coauthors/collaborators for driving this forward. nature.com/articles/s4192…

Excited to share our latest work led by Camille on the impact of tacticity in semiconducting polymer blends. Discover how leveraging tacticity can enhance performance! Congrats Camille Cunin et co. Check it out: doi.org/10.1021/acsami… #PolymerScience #OrganicElectronics

After fabricating thousands of transistors and characterizing at least as many devices, I am proud to see my research work on the impact of tacticity in semiconducting polymer blends published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces! Go check it out ➡️ doi.org/10.1021/acsami…

If you are currently using n-doped poly(benzodifurandione) (n-PBDF) for your research, there is good news. We have developed a cost-effective and scalable approach without the need to carry out dialysis for purification. With a catalytic amount of SeO2 and a simple centrifuge and

Excited to share the latest from my group! We investigate how highly ordered conjugated polymers (eg. Isoindigo derivatives) manage to accommodate mixed ionic-electronic conduction in their solid state! Congrats Rebecca and team! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

An n-doped capacitive transparent conductor for all-polymer electrochromic displays. Nat Electron (2024) We have dedicated three years to studying micropatterning techniques for each layer within electrochromic displays. Integrating these patterned layers into a single device

I hope this is the method ever needed for the synthesis of n-PBDF. It removes all the barriers: purifications-free , cost effective, and scalable. Catalytic Polymerization of n-n-PBDF) Using Parts Per Million (ppm) Level of Molybdenum Trioxide. Try it first and thank us later!
