معرفی
Professor Martin Heeney is a Professor of Organic Materials in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He also holds a position as Professor of Chemical Science at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology). His research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of organic semiconductor materials for optoelectronic applications, including field-effect transistors, photovoltaic devices, light-emitting diodes, and sensors. His work is interdisciplinary, bridging organic, polymer, and materials chemistry to establish relationships between molecular design, synthetic methods, processing, and material performance.
He leads the Heeney Group, which collaborates on multi-disciplinary projects in materials science and engineering. Current group members include PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working on conjugated polymers, organic solar cells, and advanced sensor technologies. His research group is based at both Imperial College and KAUST, with a focus on developing sustainable and high-performance materials for renewable energy and biomedical applications.
Recent research highlights include the development of mixed ionic-electronic conductors for bioelectronics, self-assembled monolayers for electrode tuning, and high-efficiency organic photovoltaic materials. His work emphasizes environmental sustainability, with contributions to low-footprint materials for energy storage and bioelectronics.
Key collaborations include projects with Saudi Aramco, KAUST, and Imperial College partners. Current open positions are available for PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers in his group.
