Research objective

My PhD project, supervised by Dr. Nicolas LECLERC and Dr. Olivier BARDAGOT (ICPEES), aims to improve the signal amplification and speed of Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) By using home-made polymers based on regio-regular side-chain engineering. The project seeks to achieve record performance in OECTs by controlling the anisotropic crystallinity and amorphous regions of these polymers. Given the potential of OECTs as biosensors, the goal is to enhance their sensitivity for biosensing applications.
