Anca STANCULESCU

Dr. Anca STANCULESCU is a Scientific Researcher I at the Laboratory of Optical Processes in Nanostructured Materials, National Institute of Materials Physics (INFIM) in Romania. Her research focuses on the development and characterization of advanced organic and inorganic materials for optoelectronic applications, with expertise spanning thin film technology, crystal growth, and nanomaterials engineering.

Her primary research interests include:

• Organic materials: multifunctional thin films, nanostructured composites, and heterostructures for photovoltaic cells, OLEDs, and transistors
• Inorganic materials: transparent conducting oxides, semiconductor compounds, and silicon technology
• Advanced characterization: AFM, SNOM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and electrical measurements

Dr. STANCULESCU specializes in laser-based deposition techniques, particularly Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE), for fabricating novel organic-inorganic hybrid systems. Her work demonstrates how strategic integration of inorganic components within organic matrices enhances device performance in terms of electrical conductivity, optical properties, and mechanical flexibility.

Analysis of her recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on flexible optoelectronics, with particular focus on nanostructured electrodes, non-fullerene acceptors for photovoltaics, and the effects of substrate patterning on device performance. Her research consistently bridges fundamental materials science with practical applications in next-generation electronic devices.

She currently leads two major research projects:

• Flexible and nanostructured Organic Field Effect Transistor for UV-VIS detection (2022-2024)
• Investigation of organic thin films after high-energy ion and neutron irradiation (2020)

Dr. STANCULESCU has also contributed to five book chapters on organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials, establishing herself as a recognized expert in the field. Her laboratory maintains strong expertise in the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured materials, with particular capabilities in laser processing and advanced optoelectronic device development.
