	Biography

Organic material development (design, synthesis & characterisation) for opto-electronics

Dr Shih-Chun Lo
(Lawrence)
Lawrence held a prestigious Swire Scholarship while carrying out his PhD study on material development for organic solar cells and light emitting diodes (OLEDs) at the University of Oxford, UK, which he completed in 2000. His post-doctoral research at Oxford focused on the design, synthesis and characterisation of fluorescent and phosphorescent dendrimers for OLEDs. The dendrimers are now recognized internationally as the third main class of OLED materials, alongside small molecules and polymers. In December 2007, he joined the University of Queensland as a Lecturer in Chemistry of Materials. His work, based at the Centre for Organic Photonics and Electronics, (COPE, Level 9, Chemistry Building 68, http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/cope/node/2), is concentrating on the development of new materials for opto-electronics (solar cells, OLEDs, photodiodes, sensors, superconductors) and clean energy generation.
