معرفی
Prof. Igor Zozoulenko is a Professor and Head of Unit at the Department of Science and Technology (ITN) at Linköping University, leading the Theory and Modelling group within the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE). He holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and has extensive postdoctoral experience at institutions in Norway and Sweden. His research focuses on electronic and transport properties of low-dimensional semiconductors, conducting polymers, and wood-based materials, with applications in organic bioelectronics and photonics. He has pioneered studies on cellulose-based supercapacitors, such as the plant-based energy storage system in roses.
Prof. Zozoulenko teaches undergraduate and Ph.D. courses at Linköping University, earning nominations for the prestigious Gyllene Moroten award in 2005 and 2028. He serves as vice-director of the Wallenberg Wood Science Center Academy, fostering industry-academia collaboration. His research spans theoretical modeling of organic electronics, redox electrochemistry in polymers, and multiscale simulations of electronic transport.
Key research themes include the electronic structure of conducting polymers, ion diffusion in cellulose composites, and photonics in bio-inspired materials. He has secured Horizon 2020 funding for doctoral students exploring waste heat energy, perovskites, and computer graphics. His lab’s work has redefined understanding of PEDOT polymer behavior and pioneered transparent wood photonics.
