Pascal André
PAscal has been awarded a 2010 Canon Foundation Fellowship which will allow him to work at the RIKEN (Wako-shi, Saitama,Japan) to research on and develop solution processable hybrid organic/inorganic nanomaterials for optoelectronic devices and electronic textiles.
In October 2006, PAscal was awarded an Advanced Research Fellowship at the University of St Andrews awarded by the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance and currently supervises PhD and Project students.
His research activities are interdisciplinary, and often combine experimental and theoretical or numerical approaches. He have gained a large breadth of knowledge and experience while investigating microstructures and stability of systems made of ionic and polymeric surfactants in oil and supercritical carbon dioxide, respectively. His experience covers nano-particles synthesis (Cu, Ag, ZnO, CdSe, InN, PbSe, FePt, ...) and characterisation, optical near-field microscopy, light scattering, polymeric molecules, and photophysical spectroscopy in the context of optoelectronic applications.

He has also gained experience in managing collaborative projects with for instance the CEA of Saclay (France) during my PhD, with UC Irvine when I was working at UNC-NSFSTC (North Carolina - USA), and more recently within the Organic Semiconductor Centre (Scotland - UK) which he currently co-coordinates.
