Biography
Biographical Information 1964: Bachelor degree, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). 1967: PhD. Degree, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Research Interest
Research Interets: Currently he is interested in the optical and electro optical properties of processable conjugated polymers, as well as in the organic chemistry of fullerenes, and the design and the preparation of self-mending polymers. He continues to perform research on plastic solar cells with the goal of developing new materials to improve the efficiency of the solar cells within the concepts developed at UCSB over a decade ago, as well as employing possible new concepts.
