Training for Scientific Dissemination and Communication

Trainer: Prof. Peter Skabara (University of Glasgow)

Prof. Peter Skabara is the Ramsay Chair of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. He has published over 230 peer-reviewed papers in the area of organic electronic and photonic materials. He has an H-index of 54 (Google Scholar) and was the recipient of a Royal Society Wolfson award and the Peter Day award from the Royal Society of Chemistry. The Skabara research group is best known for its ability to synthesise novel organic semiconductors. The materials encompass small to large molecules (up to 8,000 Da), well-defined and monodisperse oligomers and polymers prepared by chemical or electrochemical methods. Highlights of their work include organic lasers with several record-breaking lowest thresholds recorded, organic solar cells with highly promising efficiencies for molecular species, field effect transistors with excellent air stability, materials for single molecule devices with record current modulation, and novel compounds for light emitting diodes.
