Biography

C. Daniel Frisbie is Distinguished McKnight Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) at the University of Minnesota. He joined the faculty in 1994 and served as Head of CEMS from 2014-2024. A physical chemist by training, he obtained a PhD from MIT in 1993 and was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in Chemistry at Harvard. His research focuses on materials for printed electronics, including organic semiconductors and their applications in devices such as transistors and electrochromic displays. He also has a long-standing program in molecular electronics. Research themes include the characterization of novel organic semiconductors, structure-property relationships, device physics, and the application of scanning probe techniques. New efforts also include manufacturing approaches for flexible electronics and strategies for electrocatalysis.

Starting September 2024 he has taken up a sabbatical at the Sirringhaus group. His purpose during his time here is to collaborate on understanding charge transport in polymer semiconductors at ultra-high carrier densities.
