Conjugated Polymers for Organic Electronics

Andrew Grimsdale, Professor at Nanyang Technological University- Singapore, has worked on synthesis of conjugated materials for organic electronic devices for over thirty years at leading institutions including Cambridge, Mainz and Melbourne. Professor Grimsdale has written the most widely cited and comprehensive reviews on luminescent polymers and is internationally recognised as a leading authority in the field. Paul Dastoor, Professor at University of Newcastle, is internationally known for his work on organic electronic devices, developing the science, engineering, and manufacturing of printed solar and biosensor technologies based on semi-conducting polymers. Professor Dastoor has a strong track record in research commercialisation and has spun out several companies, including a listing on the NASDAQ.
