Job Description:
The Oxford Institute for Advanced Study in Optoelectronic Technology (OeTL) was established in July 2019, led by Professor Donal Bradley, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Professor Paul Stavrinou, from the Oxford School of Engineering, focusing on the research and application of new semiconductor optoelectronic materials and devices. The research covers fundamental research in the photophysical processes of optoelectronic materials and devices, as well as advanced process technologies at the micro and nano levels at the molecular level, and the preparation of high-performance electronic components, including light-emitting diodes, solar cells and detectors, lasers, and amplifiers. The research center strives to pursue low-cost and large-scale preparation processes for advanced technologies, promoting the rapid commercial transformation of research results. As a natural extension of the ongoing activities at Oxford University, OeTL is building cost-effective scale manufacturing capabilities to achieve commercialization in the near future.
The Optoelectronic Technology Laboratory (OeTL) was founded in July 2019, led by Prof. Donal Bradley and Prof. Paul Stavrinou. OeTL is focused on the development of novel semiconducting optoelectronic materials and devices and their application. In addition to the material development, the research spans the requisite studies into photophysical processes that underpin device operation and, from the molecular level, examines both micro- and nano-scale processes to develop high-performance electrical components that include light-emitting diodes, laser and amplifier components, solar cells and detectors, etc. While a natural extension of activities currently underway at Oxford University, the OeTL is building capacity towards cost-effective scale-up manufacturing for near-term commercialization.
