The Global Hub of Advanced Materials and Integrated Optoelectronics (AMIO) was created with funding from the Australian Department of Industry Science and Resources in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, and the Australian Academy of Science.
The objective of AMIO is to develop the next generation of light conversion devices such as solar cells, sensors, and light emitting devices, using cost-effective advanced semiconductors that incorporate carbon and perovskite materials. This goal will be achieved through the implementation of various innovative material designs, optoelectronic devices, surface modification techniques, and thin film processing strategies, in conjunction with fundamental research and technology development and translation.
AMIO is a joint effort between the UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, and Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology with support from CSIRO, eight industry partners, and seven prestigious universities in Japan, S. Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and UK.
AMIO established a strategic alliance with Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)–International Leading Research project on “Creation of Quantum Molecular Electronics by Fusion of Advanced Materials Chemistry and Quantum Solid-State Physics and Fostering Global Researchers”. The program is led by Distinguished Prof. Chihaya Adachi from Kyushu University, Japan, with 11 international partner organisations including UQ.
