Biography

Nicola Gasparini is an Associate Professor in Electronic Materials within the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. His research focuses on fundamental application-oriented investigations in lab-scale large-area printed electronics, especially organic perovskite photovoltaics and photodetectors. Dr. Gasparini aims to design highly efficient photodiodes utilizing electro-optical structural characterization techniques to probe charge generation, transport, and recombination processes, along with the morphology of devices. His work addresses the understanding and control of degradation and reliability of semiconducting devices exposed to light and thermal stress. Additionally, he explores new applications of printed electronics, emphasizing the development of narrowband organic photodetectors, particularly for biomedical applications where material cost-effectiveness and mechanical flexibility are crucial challenges compared to traditional inorganic devices. Prior to his current role, he completed an Imperial College Research Fellowship in 2019 and has held positions at notable institutions, including a Marie-Curie Fellowship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and a postdoctoral fellowship at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
