- Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC), Thailand
Vinich Promarak received his D.Phil. in Organic Chemistry in 2002 from the University of Oxford, UK. Currently, he is a Full Professor in Chemistry at the School of Molecular Science and Engineering, Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC), Thailand. His research interests involve “high-tech” organic materials that can be used in applications such as organic light-emitting diode (OLED), perovskite/dye-sensitized solar cell (PSC/DSSC), bulk heterojunction solar cell (OPV), sensor, and luminescent solar concentrator (LSC). During his research career, he was presented many awards, including Thailand’s Young Scientist Awards in 2007, the TRF Outstanding Research Award in 2015 and 2014, Thailand Outstanding Research Award in 2013, Asian Core Program Lectureship Award in 2009 and 2012, TRF-CHE-Scopus Research Awards in 2013, Wiley–Chemical Society of Thailand Outstanding Publication Award in 2011, the 2016 Outstanding National Researcher (Chemistry) by the National Research Council of Thailand, the TRF Senior Research Scholar 2017 from the Thailand Research Fund (TRF), CST High Impact Chemist Award 2017 from the Chemical Society of Thailand (CST), Thailand’s Outstanding Scientist Award 2021 from Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Technology under the Patronage of His Majesty the King, and recently Distinguished Professor Research Grant 2022 from the National Research Council of Thailand. To date, he has co-authored more than 290 peer-reviewed papers, and his publications have been cited over 8969 times with a current H-index of 48 (Google Scholar).
Research impacts
Organic electronics are the applications of conductive organic molecules as semiconductors in electronic devices. They can make these devices lightweight, energy-saving, flexible, large-area size, low-cost, and printable. Our research focuses on the development of new functional semiconductor materials (small molecules, conjugated polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOF)) for applications in organic electronic devices. The research is engaged in the multidisciplinary field of study, including Chemistry, Physic, and Materials Science and Engineering, starting from modern organic materials/polymers synthesis, advanced electronic, photophysical, electrochemical, electrical, and optoelectric characterizations to the design, fabrication, and characterization of components and devices.).
