Invited Speaker
Dr. Chris Giebink, Professor, University of Michigan
Dr. Chris Giebink is a professor at the University of Michigan and head of the Applied Optoelectronics and Photonics Lab. His work explores the fundamental physics of organic semiconductors, including charge transport, excited states, and light-matter interaction, with applications in OLEDs, solar energy, and other optoelectronic devices.

In this talk, Dr. Giebink will discuss the key physical processes driving degradation in blue OLEDs, including exciton-induced damage, charge imbalance, and defect formation. Drawing on both experimental and modeling approaches, he will provide insights into how degradation mechanisms can be identified, quantified, and ultimately mitigated to improve device lifetime and performance.

Follow-up Speaker
Vasilis Georgakopoulos, PhD Candidate, University of Bayreuth and Fluxim AG
is a PhD candidate in Computational Physics at the University of Bayreuth and Fluxim AG. His work focuses on display technologies, with expertise in electrical and optical characterization, as well as device modeling of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). He has strong experience in multi-physics simulation, software development, and the validation of models through experimental data. Vasilis has also contributed to collaborative projects between academia and industry, with results disseminated through publications and conference presentations.

This webinar is a must-attend for researchers from both industry and academia working on OLED devices, display technologies, and device stability. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, May 12, at 3:00pm CEST / 9:00am EDT.
