NaylorDr John Naylor is the EMEIA PED Operations Manager at the Kurt J Lesker Company. Working out the European Headquarters in Hastings, UK he is responsible for the production of the world-class PVD systems with a focus on the deposition of organic molecules in the vapour phase. John obtained his PhD in Chemistry in 1998 at Swansea University, working with glow-discharge mass spectrometry and COMAS laser spectroscopy. He has a strong background in vacuum deposition techniques, having worked for Edwards Vacuum for a decade, before joining Kurt J Lesker.

MorseDr. Graham E. Morse (GEM) is a research and development manager at Merck Chemicals Ltd. developing materials for industrial organic solar panel manufacturing. He has a diverse background in chemical engineering, synthetic organic chemistry, applied chemistry, polymer synthesis, device physics and material science being trained at the University of Ottawa (B.A.Sc.), the University of Toronto (Ph.D.) and further as a Marie Curie postdoctoral Fellow in the ESTABLIS EU project. GEM has over 10 years of experience in the field of organic electronics and has demonstrated consistent innovation with nearly 30 publications and more than 10 world-wide patent applications. He collaborated with colleagues in the implementation of ‘Solar Trees’ – the first large‐scale demonstration of fully solution coated, semitransparent, flexible organic photovoltaic modules – at the Milan EXPO 2015 and received a corporate award for recognition his efforts. He is skilled in all aspects of organic photovoltaics including chemical synthesis, device fabrication, industrial scale-up and the intellectual property landscape.

RiedeMoritz Riede is Associate Professor for Soft Functional Nanomaterials in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, UK. Before moving to Oxford, he worked in Germany at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and the University of Freiburg as PhD student, and at the Technische Universität Dresden as postdoctoral research and head of a junior research group. His academic research is currently focussed on organic solar cells, a new solar cell technology that has potential for light-weight, cheap, flexible, large area, long-living and efficient solar cells. This kind of emerging solar cell is based on organic semiconductors, i.e. the same material class that is used in OLED displays of many modern smartphones. The investigations range from fundamental studies in the photophysics of organic semiconductors to the optimisation of organic solar cells.

BlanchardPhilippe Blanchard is CNRS research director and leads the Linear Conjugated Systems group at MOLTECH-Anjou from the University of Angers (France). He received his PhD from the Universities of Nantes and Angers in 1994, working on tetrathiafulvalene-based molecular materials. He spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Odense (Denmark) where he developed electroactive macrocyclic compounds. In 1995, he joined the group of Jean Roncali in Angers as CNRS researcher to develop thiophene-based π-conjugated oligomers and polymers. His current research interests concern the design, synthesis and characterization of π-conjugated systems i) for the fabrication of organic electronic devices including organic solar cells and ii) for the elaboration of electrode materials through electropolymerization or their immobilization as self-assembled monolayers on surfaces for applications in molecular electronics.

PshenichnikovMaxim S. Pshenchnikov received his MSc and PhD from Moscow State University in 1983 and 1987, respectively. In 1992, he moved to the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, as a postdoctoral fellow to join the staff in 1996, first at the department of chemistry and since 2006 at the department of physics. His research focuses at a wide range of ultrafast phenomena in organic materials at nanoscopic lengths and femtosecond time scales, especially at hydrogen-bond dynamics at (bio)interfaces and exciton and charge dynamics in energy-related materials.
