Title:

“Expanding the Toolbox to Modulate the Electronic Functions of π-Conjugated Supramolecular Polymers”.

About the Speaker:

Jean-Hubert is originally from Strasbourg (France) and attended University of Strasbourg where he obtained his MSc in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry. During his PhD work at University of Strasbourg, he developed new classes of luminescent liquid crystals and studied light-matter interactions. He then moved to Duke University in 2011 as a postdoctoral associate and engineered novel carbon nanotube-based materials for solar energy capture and conversion.  Jean-Hubert joined University of Miami in 2016. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, he is creating entirely new classes of structure-function optimized organic materials that are constructed from non-equilibrium supramolecular architectures. His research program targets applications in mechanical energy harvesting, tactile sensors, organic electronics and optoelectronics.
