Thomas Anthopoulos

Thomas Anthopoulos is Professor of Emerging Optoelectronics at the University of Manchester's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. His research focuses on next-generation optoelectronic technologies including organic and perovskite photovoltaics, printed electronics, and neuromorphic computing systems.

Research interests span scalable nanomanufacturing of electronic devices, with emphasis on organic semiconductors, metal-oxide transistors, graphene diodes, and perovskite-based computing architectures. Key application areas include renewable energy, biosensors, flexible electronics, and neuromorphic systems.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on advanced materials for optoelectronics, including record-efficiency organic photovoltaics (20.5%), neuromorphic computing elements, flexible oxide transistors, and novel biosensing platforms. Research consistently bridges fundamental materials science with device engineering.

Supervises PhD projects on third-generation photovoltaics and scalable nanomanufacturing. Organizes international conferences including IEC TC 119 Printed Electronics events at the Henry Royce Institute. Research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through renewable energy and advanced materials innovation.
