Alex Jen is currently serving as the Boeing-Johnson Chair Professor and Chair of the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. He is also serving as Chief Scientist for the Clean Energy Institute endowed by the Washington State Governor. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984 under the tutelage of Prof. Michael Cava.
Dr. Jen’s research is centered on utilizing molecular, polymeric and biomacromolecular self-assembly to create ordered arrangement of organic and inorganic functional materials for photonics, opto-electronics, nanomedicine, and nanotechnology. He has co-authored more than 570 publications, given over 500 invited presentations, and has >28,000 citations and a H-index of 86. He is also a co-inventor for more than 50 patents and invention disclosures.
For his pioneering contributions in organic photonics and electronics, he was elected as Fellow by several professional societies including AAAS, MRS, ACS, PMSE, OSA, and SPIE. He has also been appointed as the National 1000 Talent Chair Professor at Zhejiang University, the Changjiang Endowed Chair at Wuhan University by the Chinese Ministry of Education, the World Class University Professor by the Korean National Research Foundation, and as the Distinguished Chair Professor by the National Taiwan University. Recently, he has been elected as an Academician by the Washington State Academy of Sciences.
NEW FRONTIER OF ORGANIC FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS AND DEVICES: FROM MOLECULAR ENGINEERING TO TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS
Alex K-Y. Jen, Boeing-Johnson Chair Professor
Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Washington
Recent development of highly efficient organic conjugated materials based photonic and electronic devices has opened the way to promising opportunities to complement and improve current inorganic semiconductor-based technologies. In this talk, two examples will be given based on molecular engineering of the shape, size, interactive force, interface and energy levels of organic conjugated materials to significantly improve the performance of devices for efficient energy generation and low power ultrafast information processing.
The first example will be focused on organic electro-optic (EO) materials that can be used to provide a full array of optical functions and can be processed at temperatures that are compatible with CMOS integrated circuits. In response to exponentially increasing demands for operational bandwidth, nanostructured organic EO materials are expected to play critical role in organic silicon hybrid nanophotonics in the near future. Integrated optical circuits based on organic silicon hybrid EO materials will enable low cost, mass production of novel nanophotonic devices for broadband optical signal processing and communications.
The second example is on the development of processible and high-charge carrier mobility conjugated polymers to enhance power conversion efficiency of solar cells. Several innovative strategies were also applied to modify the interface of solar devices and to create new device architectures to improve their performance for printable semitransparent solar cells for potential applications in solar windows.
