Sara Eisler

Sara Eisler is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of New Brunswick (Canada). She holds a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Alberta (2004), followed by post-doctoral fellowships at ETH-Zürich (2004–2006) and the University of Montréal (2006–2008). Her research focuses on organic electronics, molecular switches, fluorescence, and heterocycle synthesis. Dr. Eisler leads the Eisler Research Group, whose work bridges fundamental chemical principles with applications in optoelectronics and materials science.

Key research interests include designing conjugated systems for electronic devices, developing photoresponsive molecules, and synthesizing novel heterocyclic compounds with tunable properties. Her lab emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining synthetic chemistry with advanced spectroscopic and crystallographic analyses. The group's findings have been published in journals like Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry, and Chemical European Journal.

Publications reflect a strong emphasis on student collaboration, with numerous first-author contributions from her advisees. The Eisler Research Group website provides further details on ongoing projects, including molecular electronics and fluorescent sensor development.
