Prof. Dr. Sebastian Reineke
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Reineke (M) studied physics in Heidelberg and Dresden. He obtained the Diplomphysiker degree in 2005 and the Ph.D. degree in 2010 from the TU Dresden, respectively. From April 2011 to September 2013 was postdoctoral fellow within the Soft Semiconductor Group of Prof. Marc A. Baldo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Following his postdoctoral stay, he was visiting scientist (DFG Rückkehrstipendium) with Prof. Jochen Feldmann (Lehrstuhl für Photonik and Optoelektronik, LMU München). In May 2014 he accepted an assistant professorship position (Jun.-Prof.) for Organic Semiconductors at the Institut für Angewandte Physik and Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP). In summer 2014, he joined the German Excellence Cluster cfaed of the TU Dresden as a principle investigator. Since June 2016, he is now professor for Organic Semiconductors. Sebastian Reineke was awarded the Professor-Schwabe-Prize in 2006 and the Emanuel-Goldberg-Prize in 2009, acknowledging his Diploma and Ph.D. thesis, respectively. In 2015, he was awarded with a Starting Grant of the European Research Council – the most prestigious award for excellence in research for young researchers. Between 2011 and 2013, he has been member of an advisory board of the US Department of Energy that develops the Multi-Year Program Plan for solid-state lighting. He has a 10+ years experience working in the field of organic semiconductors and has co-authored more than 110 peer-reviewed publications (h-index of 43).
