About
Georges Hadziioannou is a pioneering figure at the intersection of polymer science, organic electronics, and biohybrid systems. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of conjugated polymers and oligomers, with a particular emphasis on creating functional electronic materials that can seamlessly integrate with biological systems. One of his most notable contributions is the development of biohybrid plants with electronic roots, achieved through the *in vivo* polymerization of conjugated oligomers. This groundbreaking work, published in 2021 and already garnering 33 citations, demonstrates that living plant roots can be transformed into functional electronic components—such as supercapacitors—without harming the plant. The p(ETE-S) roots outperformed previous plant-biohybrid charge storage devices and remained stable for four weeks, while the plants themselves adapted to their new hybrid state. This achievement not only blurs the line between living organisms and synthetic electronics but also opens new avenues for sustainable energy storage and environmental sensing. Hadziioannou’s work exemplifies how organic electronics can be used to create truly integrated, living electronic systems.
