About

Jonathan Rivnay is a leading figure in the field of organic bioelectronics, where his work bridges the gap between electronic materials and biological systems. His research focuses on understanding and controlling the mixed ionic and electronic transport in conducting polymers, a critical area for developing next-generation bioelectronic devices. Rivnay’s most cited work, a 2016 study on structural control of mixed transport in PEDOT:PSS (898 citations), has become a foundational reference for researchers designing materials that efficiently couple electronic and ionic signals. This contribution has been instrumental in advancing organic electrochemical transistors and neural interfaces. More recently, Rivnay has ventured into the integration of bioelectronics with cell-based synthetic biology, as seen in his 2025 paper (34 citations), which explores how electronic devices can interface with engineered cells for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. His work is characterized by a deep mechanistic understanding of polymer physics and a clear vision for translating these insights into functional bioelectronic platforms. Rivnay’s research continues to shape how we design soft, biocompatible electronics for recording and modulating biological activity.
