Shih-Chun Lo

Associate Professor Shih-Chun Lo (Lawrence) specializes in functional materials development for organic optoelectronics at the University of Queensland's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences. His research encompasses organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solar cells, photodetectors, sensors, superconductors and organic lasers.

Key achievements include pioneering light-emitting dendrimers as the third class of OLED materials alongside polymers and small molecules. Recent work focuses on low-threshold organic lasers, triplet exciton management and solution-processable devices. He holds over 70 patents globally.

Research areas include:

• Organic semiconductor synthesis
• Optoelectronic device engineering
• Solution-processable materials
• Energy generation systems

Honors include SCMB Outstanding Contribution to Research and visiting positions at Kyushu University, Yamagata University and Oxford University. He leads multiple funded projects on quantum materials and optoelectronics.
