About me

I completed my PhD on the spectroscopy of organic semiconductors in 2009 at the University of St Andrews before moving to The University of Queensland as a postdoctoral fellow working on the development of fluorescent dendrimers for the detection of explosives. In November 2011 I was awarded an ARC DECRA fellowship and in 2016 an Advance Queensland Research Fellowship. I am director of the Centre for Organic Photonics & Electronics and lead the Advanced Functional Materials research theme within SCMB. I am also the leader of the UQ-node of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics.

Research focus and collaborations

The development of organic semiconductors has the potential to revolutionise the design and fabrication of future optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, sensors, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. Research activities span all aspects including material design and synthesis, morphology, photophysics, and device fabrication.

My current research has a strong application-focus across the three following areas.

Fluorescence-based chemical sensors

Rapid and reliable detection of chemical vapours is a significant technological challenge, particularly for those chemicals that pose a health or security concern. Fluorescence-based sensing is one of the most attractive solutions to this problem because it can achieve trace-level detection without the need for complex, expensive and power-hungry hardware. My research lies in the development of novel fluorescence-based sensors with activities spanning from materials development, photophysical characterisation of the target-sensor interactions and detection hardware development.

Research topics include:

  • Detection of chemical threats (explosives, chemical warfare agents, drugs).
  • Understanding the nature of the interaction between the target and the sensing material (photophysical characterisation, vapour diffusion into the sensing films).
  • Sensing platform development including detection algorithms.

Organic and hybrid solar cells

The next generation of solar cells based on organic and hybrid semiconductors can be solution processed over large areas leading to panels that are cheaper than current technology as well as being lighter and flexible. The development of new solar cell materials and understanding their properties is at the heart of my current research.

Research topics include:

  • Single component active layers for organic solar cells.
  • Photophysical properties of organic light harvesting materials.
  • Strategies towards achieving high-performance stable perovskite solar cells.
  • Tandem solar cells.
  • Large area fabrication of solution-processed solar cells.

Emissive processes in organic semiconductors

Organic semiconductors can be highly luminescent and there currently exists a broad palette of materials available for use in both display and lighting applications. These applications are currently the two biggest emerging markets for organic semiconductors and both require high efficiency devices that can consistently deliver high brightness.

Research topics include:

  • Identifying energy transfer pathways between emitters.
  • Understanding the emissive process in the latest generation of materials.
