Gregory Welch

Gregory Welch is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on developing perylene diimide (PDI) based materials for organic electronics, with particular emphasis on solar cell devices, catalytic systems, and printed electronics. His work emphasizes green solvent processes and roll-to-roll manufacturing compatibility.

Education details are not explicitly stated in the provided texts, but his academic career is centered on advancing conjugated polymer materials for energy applications. Key research directions include electrochromic devices, flexible OLEDs, and interlayer materials for photovoltaics.

Recent research highlights include publications on high-voltage solar cells (2022), biogenic amine sensing (2021), and water-soluble ionic salts (2020). His team has also achieved milestones in large-area flexible OLED fabrication and organic photovoltaic interlayer development.

He leads the AFMC LAB (White background AFMC LAB), which focuses on organic conjugated molecules, organometallic catalysis, and thin-film characterization. Current lab projects involve device fabrication testing and surface engineering applications.

Notable advisees include Irene (electrochromic devices), Akpeko (flexible OLEDs), Kathryn (solar cell interlayers), Colton (material processing), and Mike (sensing mechanisms). Grant and funding details are not specified in the provided texts.
