Research

Welcome to our research lab, in the Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics at National Taiwan University!

Our lab explores novel materials and device design for emerging optoelectronics, to convert light into electricity in a sustainable, cheap and efficient way.

In particular, we study organic and hybrid photodetectors, where emerging semiconductors (organic polymers, small molecules, perovskites) capture photons and transform them into an electrical signal.

Traditional silicon sensors are already capable of efficient photodetection, but innovative approaches are required for specific applications which are increasingly crucial in our world, such as:

  • Detection in the infrared beyond silicon absorption, for biomedical devices, automatic driving or IoT sensors
  • Flexible, conformable, and stretchable devices
  • Reducing environmental footprint of materials synthesis and device fabrication

In our lab, you can investigate cutting-edge topics at the boundary between the scientific mysteries of the photophysics of organic and hybrid materials and advanced device engineering.

If you are inspired by this highly innovative field, don’t hesitate to get in touch for information about joining the lab and be part of the organic optoelectronic revolution!
