Developments in Organic Photovoltaics

Maxim Shkunov studied physics and applied mathematics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and received his PhD in condensed matter physics from the University of Utah, USA, where he conducted research in ultrafast spectroscopy and laser action in conjugated polymers and photonic crystals. His current research interests focus on organic semiconductors, self-assembly, nanowire electronics and stimulated emission in polymer films. He has over 15 years of experience in the field and worked at Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), Cavendish Laboratory (U. Cambridge), and Merck Chemicals (UK). Maxim (co)-authored more than 80 publications, including articles in peer reviewed journals and patents. He is now a Lecturer in Nanoelectronics at the Advanced Technology Institute. He teaches MSc-level Molecular Electronics and Level 2 Electronic and Photonic Devices and leads PhD and MSc research projects.
