Our PhD student Kaishuai Zhang attended the e-MRS spring 2026 conference where he delivered a talk on the dynamics of electrochromic switching in covalent organic frameworks.

Julien presented at SPIE photonics! He showed his first hyperspectral images of OECTs. The doping and dedoping can be monitored in the channel and on the transparent ITO electrodes at the same time. Time resolved images have also been acquired, giving a unique insight into the doping mechanisms governing the…

New PhD in the house! Last Wednesday, Isabelle successfully defended her PhD thesis on the spectroscopic investigation of doping in organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors. You did a fantastic job, and we are super proud of you! All the best for the future ahead of you, you will be missed here!

A warm welcome to Varun Subudhi who is joining as a Ph.D. student within the MSCA doctoral network FADOS. Varun completed his Integrated M.Sc. degree in Physics at NISER, Bhubaneswar, India, where he specialized in nanoelectronics and organic device physics. At FemtoMat, he will focus on charge transport in doped…

We are thrilled to announce our new publication by Priscila! She studied why P3HT outperforms more polar analogues in OECTs. Thanks to the groups of Sahika Inal and Christian Nielsen for the great collaboration on this project!

New PhD in the house! Last Friday, Cedric successfully defended his PhD thesis on excitation-energy and field-driven ultrafast charge processes in organic semiconductors! You did a great job, and we wish you all the best for the future!

Last week, Dimitra travelled to the MATSUS Fall Meeting in Valencia! There, she presented our research on mixed conductivity in electrochemically and chemically doped polymers and connected with the community! Thanks a lot Dimitra for the nice presentation!

We are happy to announce our new publication by Eva! She investigated the distance–resilient conductivity in p-doped polythiophenes and compared aliphatic and glycolated sidechains. Many thanks to the groups of Christian Müller and Martijn Kemerink for the collaboration on this project!

We are happy to announce that Gopika Suresh started her PhD with us in September! Gopika obtained her integrated BS–MS degree from IISER Thiruvananthapuram, India and she will join our photocatalysis subgroup, aiming to understand charge carrier dynamics that underpin photocatalytic activity. All the best for the start!

We have a new Bachelor student! Yunjeong joined our group in September after completing her Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Sogang University, Korea. She will investigate the dynamics of electrochemical doping with us. We wish you a good start!
