Dr Daniel Elkington

Dr Daniel Elkington's primary research interest is focused on applications for organic electronic materials. He has been heavily involved in successful research projects centred on industrial and commercial applications for organic photovoltaic devices, organic sensors and organic transistors. Organic electronic materials are attractive for use in a wide variety of applications due to their flexibility, low cost and potential for use in low-energy fabrication processes such as printing. Dr Elkington is particularly passionate about harnessing the potential of these materials and taking ideas from the laboratory to make a real impact on the world.

Prior to his career in research, Dr Elkington studied and worked as an electrical engineer, and as a part of the Centre for Organic Electronics (COE), he offers expertise in electronics design and engineering problem-solving skills to make valuable contributions to the COE's multidisciplinary team.
