Soft optoelectronics and ion-based circuits for diagnostics and closed-loop neuromodulation of the auditory pathway Ghent University
Understanding and modulating neural networks requires high-resolution acquisition of neural activity over time, real-time analysis, and minimally invasive stimulation methods with high specificity. Such procedures are particularly needed for treatment of sensory disfunction (e.g. hearing loss), and certain neurological diseases (e.g. epilepsy). The lack of soft, biocompatible, hybrid and smart neural interfaces hinders our capacity to study ...

Study on the INfluence of the sTructurE of the oRganic cation on key Properties of (quasi-)2D hybRid perovskites towards the rational design of Efficient and sTable optoElectRonics (INTERPRETER) Hasselt University
Surface chemistry and opto-electronic properties of InAs quantum dots for short-wave infrared (SWIR) photodiodes Ghent University
Imaging scenes using short-wave infrared (SWIR) light would be an enabling sensing technology if affordable SWIR imagers were available. The latest generation of printable semiconductors, such as InAs quantum dots (QDs), offer this possibility. Within this project, we will investigate the fundamentals of charge transport in InAs QD photodiodes to create the essential building block of next generation SWIR imagers.
Strain to stabilize metal halide PERovSkites: an Integrated effort from fundamentalS to opto-electronic applicaTions (PERsist). Ghent University
Light detection and emission are crucial for displays, medical and security scanners. Given the societal relevance, there is an emerging need for novel opto-electronic materials with higher conversion effi- ciency and lower production cost. Metal halide perovskites are promising high-performance semicon- ductors due to their strong absorption and emission in a broad spectral range and their ease of manu- facturing. So far, integration in ...

Unraveling phase transformations of metal-halide perovskites for stable opto-electronic devices Ghent University
Metal-halide perovskites have garnered intensive interest because of their extraordinary properties for photovoltaic applications. In the last years, the maximum obtained efficiency of perovskite absorbers for this application has risen substantially, up to a maximum of 22%, thereby rapidly closing the gap with the efficiency of more traditional photovoltaic materials. The further development of these perovskites for photovoltaic and other ...
