Stefan Meskers is an Associate Professor in the Molecular Materials Nanosystems group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on the spectroscopy and optoelectronic properties of molecular semiconductors, with a particular interest in optical excitations in molecular materials and their relation to the generation and/or recombination of mobile charge carriers. Spectroscopic methods are employed to probe elementary excitations, specifically through fluorescence polarization spectroscopy. This technique aids in monitoring the generation of electrical charge carriers through optical excitations tied to phenomena like the photovoltaic effect in solar cells. Additionally, Meskers investigates the recombination of electrically injected carriers to yield electroluminescence. His investigative career began with the optical processes in highly ordered molecular semiconductors, molecular crystals, and liquid crystals, leading to an in-depth study of polaritons—quantum interactions between electromagnetic energy and matter. His academic journey, enriched by a background in Chemistry obtained from Leiden University, informs his commitment to exploring the intricate interplay between light and molecular radiation.
