Alejandro Briseño named first ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces young investigator

Congratulations to Materials Today Editorial Board member Alejandro Briseño, who has been named the first ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces young investigator. This annual award recognizes an early career individual’s contribution to applied research or technologies. The award recipient will deliver a lecture at the 2015 ACS Fall National Meeting in Boston, MA.

Briseño's research group focuses on balancing interests not only in technological applications, but also into answering fundamental questions that hone in on specific disciplines. The goal of their interdisciplinary team is to nucleate new and exciting research in organic and polymer semiconductor single crystals; polymer semiconductor devices; structure-property relationships, fundamental knowledge in polymer semiconductors; synthesis of novel organic and polymer semiconductors; polymer/biomedical sensors; and microfluidics.
