Alexander Gillett

Dr. Alexander Gillett is an Assistant Professor at Linköping University's Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM). His research focuses on ultrafast laser spectroscopy of organic semiconductor materials, aiming to advance optoelectronic devices like solar cells and OLEDs. He leads a lab equipped with state-of-the-art femtosecond laser systems and spectroscopic setups.

Previously, Gillett was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge (2022–2024) and earned his PhD under Prof. Sir Richard Friend (2019). His work bridges fundamental material science with practical applications, focusing on exciton dynamics, charge transfer, and energy loss mechanisms in organic photovoltaics and LEDs.

Key research areas include understanding triplet exciton behavior, molecular interface engineering, and material degradation pathways. He has secured a Wallenberg Academy Fellowship (2023) to establish his lab at LiU, emphasizing sustainable energy materials. Gillett collaborates with industry and academia to translate discoveries into high-efficiency, low-energy optoelectronic technologies.

He supervises PhD and postdoctoral researchers and offers opportunities for self-funded candidates. His lab's infrastructure includes femtosecond lasers, parametric amplifiers, and advanced spectroscopic techniques to study ultrafast phenomena in organic semiconductors.
