Professor Vladimir Bulovic
Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and former head of Strategic technology Development of Universal Display Corporation
Abstract
"Organic Optoelectronics — Opportunities for 21st Century Entrepreneurs"
Biography
Vladimir Bulovic joined the faculty of MIT in July 2000 as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. His research interests include studies of physical properties of organic and organic/inorganic nanodot composite thin films and structures, and development of novel optoelectronic organic and hybrid nano–scale devices.
Prior to joining MIT, he was a Senior Scientist and Project Head of Strategic Technology Development at Universal Display Corporation (UDC). At UDC he worked on the application of organic materials to LEDs for full color flat panel displays and thin film photovoltaics for solar cell and detector applications. His work resulted in development of OLED backlights, pixilated arrays of stacked OLEDs, and improved performance of phosphorescent OLEDs. Prior to joining UDC he worked in Princeton's POEM Center as a graduate researcher (1993–1998) and research associate (1998–1999). At Princeton, Prof. Bulovic participated in a series of projects examining optical and electrical properties of vacuum deposited amorphous and crystalline molecular organic thin films and devices. His work resulted in development of OLED technologies such as transparent, inverted, and stacked OLEDs, demonstration of the first optically pumped organic semiconductor lasers, and understanding of photogeneration in organic photovoltaic devices, microcavity effects in luminescent devices, and the solid state solvation effects in polar organic media. From 1991–1993, Prof. Bulovic was at Columbia University's Microelectronics Sciences Laboratory, where for his M.S. degree he examined image–potential states and resonances on metal surfaces utilizing non–linear two–photon photoemission spectroscopy.
Prof. Bulovic graduated from Princeton University with a B.S.E. (1991), M.A. (1995), and Ph.D. (1998) in Electrical Engineering. He is a member of MRS, APS, and TMS, has authored over 35 papers and has 24 issued patents in the areas of organic LEDs, lasers, and photodetectors. and former head of Strategic Technology Development of Universal Display Corporation.
