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 #MATSUS25 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. 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. 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!

Christian presented his spectro-electrochemical studies on the structure–property relationships in organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs) at the SCS Fall Meeting in Zurich. Congratulations for the inspiring talk!

About two weeks ago, our PhD student Alan Ávila presented his First Year Symposium. Congratulations on achieving this milestone! We wish you a lot of success on your academic journey!
