Mark Chen Fall 2015

presented a talk titled “Synthetic control of solid-state order and polymer-packing orientation for enhanced organic electronic device performance” at the 248th American Chemical Society National Meeting that described synthetic strategies for rationally engineering semiconducting polymer thin films. He also co-authored an article titled “Solution-Processed, Molecular Photovoltaics that Exploit Hole Transfer from Non-Fullerene, n-Type Materials” that was published in Advanced Materials. Just recently, Mark was awarded a New Investigator Research Grant from the Charles E. Kaufman Foundation for his work in developing new molecular biradicaloids for organic electronic materials.
