Research Interests
Professor Baran's research interests lie in the area of solution processable organic/hybrid soft materials for electronic devices. Such soft semiconductor materials possess a viable platform for printed, large area, stretchable and wearable electronics that can be used as solar cells, smart windows, OFETs, thermoelectrics, sensors and bio-electronics.
Professor Baran is particularly interested in design and synthesis of organic photoelectric functional materials, morphology physics and device stability research, device structure and process development and industrialization of flexible cells, focusing on the third generation of flexible organic solar cell technology.
