Cansel Temiz

My work aims to achieve control over charge and excited state dynamics by engineering the optoelectronic properties of new organic semiconductor molecules and the way they organize in the solid state. As a starting point, individual organic semiconductor molecules are designed, synthesized and characterized. In the second stage, the charge and exciton transport properties are studied by Pulse Radiolysis Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity (PR-TRMC) measurements. Apart from this, I am also involved in designing and synthesizing organic small molecules for single molecule mechanically controlled break junctions (MCBJs) with the coloration of van der Zant group. Aside from research, I am interested in travelling, reading, playing violoncello, yoga, photography and music.
