Biography
Craig received his PhD from the University of Tokyo, where he focused on the development of novel molecular semiconductors and their charge transport properties, under the supervision of Profs. Toshihiro Okamoto and Jun Takeya. He joined the department of chemistry at University of Cambridge as a Herchel Smith postdoc fellow in 2022. His current research with Profs. Hugo Bronstein and Henning Sirringhaus explores the structural and charge-transport properties of high-performance π-conjugated polymers, as well as optoelectronic properties of novel open-shell semiconductors.
Craig’s favourite things in Cambridge are perhaps exploring local restaurants and pubs, and binge eating on weekends.
