Dr Amare Benor

Amare Benor received his PhD in Physics at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, in 2008. He currently holds a position at Bahir Drar University in Ethiopia. Following on from his PhD study, he has worked on various surface engineering methods to tackle materials stability issues affecting the electronic structure of organic semiconducting and (opto-)electronic devices. In addition, he takes an interest in printing methods and electrodes patterning for applications in emerging optoelectronic devices. His current research, in Ethiopia, is supported by the International Science Program (ISP, IPPS ETH:03). During his stay with us at the Sirringhaus group he will continue his work on electrical stability of organic semiconductors, specifically, in connection to their impact on thermoelectronic energy harvesting devices.
