Conference Description
The Electronic Processes in Organic Materials GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The program of our GRC meeting spans a range of topics at the frontier of organic and hybrid electronics, optoelectronics and bioelectronics. These molecular electronic systems share key physical processes creating opportunities for cross-fertilization between subfields at this GRC meeting. The understanding of exciton and charge physics, the interplay between electronic function and macromolecular conformation and solid-state microstructure, interface electronic structure, and thin-film solution processing, all contribute to the rapid growth and success of organic electronics, bioelectronics and optoelectronics. This GRC meeting will explore areas of traditional research such as carrier transport, the role of order and disorder, the mechanisms and effects of chemical and electro-chemical doping, energetics at organic and hybrid interfaces, and the design, synthesis and processing of molecular and polymer semiconductors will be explored along emerging topics such as organic spin physics, charge and ionic mixed conductivity, interfacing organics with catalysts, organic neuromorphic devices, green processing, stability and durability and recycling. This conference will provide a premier context for researchers at all stages of career, among them leading experts in these various sub-fields, to gather under the same roof for five days of intense, inclusive, and stimulating discussions that will undoubtedly contribute to further understanding and progress in organic and hybrid thin-film optoelectronics and beyond.
The GRC meeting will be immediately preceded, and will greatly benefit from, a two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Electronic Processes in Organic Materials, run by graduate students for graduate students, post-docs and other scientists from the highly interdisciplinary community of organic electronics. These days of intense discussions senior and junior theoreticians and experimentalists experts in these various subfields will therefore undoubtedly contribute to further understanding and progress in the area of organic and hybrid thin film electronics.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by March 9, 2024. Please check back for updates.
