Dr. Alexander Gillett leads a research group at Linköping University that focuses on ultrafast optical spectroscopy of organic semiconductor materials. He began his role as an Assistant Professor in 2024 after working as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge from 2022 to 2024. He obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2019 under the supervision of Professor Sir Richard Friend and subsequently served as a postdoctoral researcher from 2019 to 2022. Dr. Gillett's research employs ultrafast optical spectroscopy techniques, including transient absorption and photoluminescence, to understand the fundamental photophysical processes in organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices. His lab is equipped with advanced laser spectroscopy facilities and is involved in cutting-edge research on organic photovoltaics, material degradation mechanisms, and spin-triplet excited states in organic LEDs. The group's current research topics include photophysics in organic photovoltaics and the study of fundamental physics in organic semiconductors, with several publications in prominent journals.
