Biography

Juan Cabanillas-Gonzalez completed his Physics PhD in 2004 at Imperial College London being supervised by Prof. Donal Bradley, one of the worldwide leading scientists in the field of organic optoelectronics. His doctoral work comprised the study of charge transfer and energy transfer interactions in disorder mixtures of semiconducting polymers, (10.1103/PhysRevB.71.014211 and 10.1021/cm0496669 respectively). In 2003 he moved to Politecnico di Milano to work as post-doc with femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. There he would made contributions on understanding the process of charge photogeneration in conjugated polymers (10.1103/PhysRevB.71.155207, 10.1002/adma.201102015), picosecond charge transport under electric fields monitored with pump-probe spectroscopy (10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.106601) and monitoring of local electric fields in field effect transistors under operation conditions (10.1002/adfm.200801264, 10.1016/j.orgel.2011.09.023). Since 2010 he works as Ramon y Cajal fellow and Senior Scientist at IMDEA Nanoscience in Madrid. His research nowadays is focused on understanding the relations between polymer chemical structure and emission / optical gain properties for the design of efficient optically pumped lasers, (10.1002/adma.201301703). He is corresponding author of articles in prestigious journals such as Physical Review Letters, Advanced Materials or Advanced Functional Materials. ResearchID code: M-1026-2014.
