New Research Chair

Hybrid optoelectronic materials and components

Sylvain Cloutier, professor at ÉTS and member of NanoQAM, has just obtained the Canada Research Chair in hybrid optoelectronic materials and components.

Light sources and solar cells

This chair aims to develop a whole new class of affordable hybrid optoelectronic nanomaterials that can be integrated into the architecture of relatively simple components. This research, which mainly concerns light sources and solar cells, will make it possible to design:

• a new class of better quality, inexpensive opto-electronic materials
• inexpensive light emitting diodes, collectors and solar cells for a wide range of applications

Applications

The work will eventually transform the way we think and use electronic materials. With nanometric design, researchers will better understand the properties of these materials, and then better master them.
