About

Jens Pflaum is a leading figure in organic electronics, renowned for his pioneering work on the physics and application of organic semiconductors. His research centers on charge transport, device physics, and the development of low-power organic circuits. Pflaum’s most impactful contribution is his seminal 2007 paper, "Ultralow-power organic complementary circuits," which has garnered over 1,400 citations. This work demonstrated the feasibility of organic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-like logic circuits operating at sub-volt levels, a critical breakthrough for power-efficient, flexible electronics. Beyond this landmark study, Pflaum has made significant advances in understanding charge carrier mobility, trap states, and the role of molecular ordering in organic thin films. His research has directly influenced the design of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and light-emitting devices, bridging fundamental materials science with practical device engineering. Known for his meticulous experimental approach, Pflaum’s work continues to shape the trajectory of organic electronics, inspiring both academic research and industrial applications in flexible displays, sensors, and low-power computing.
