Hany Aziz

Hany Aziz is a Professor and University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo, specializing in organic optoelectronic materials and devices. His research focuses on quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QDLEDs), perovskite photodetectors, and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), with a particular emphasis on improving device stability, charge transport dynamics, and material degradation mechanisms.

His work addresses challenges such as electroluminescence loss in blue QDLEDs, exciton-induced material degradation, and the optimization of charge transport layers. Key contributions include novel strategies for enhancing device lifetimes through halide doping, fluorine incorporation, and electron-blocking layers.

Research trends in his publications highlight advancements in encapsulation techniques, inverted device architectures, and solution-processing methods for scalable optoelectronic applications. His lab, Organic Optoelectronic Materials and Devices Laboratory, focuses on bridging fundamental material science with practical device engineering for next-generation optoelectronics.
