His research focuses on the design and synthesis of organic and organic/inorganic hybrid functional materials for use in printed electronics, specifically, organic photovoltaics, field-effect transistors and chemical sensors, and the integration of these materials into electronic devices. He aims to understand structure-property-function relationships in an effort to improve on molecular design and device performance. To share his most recent findings, strengthen his knowledge in the area of ‘Green Chemistry’, and develop new contacts and collaborations Dr. Welch will attend the IUPAC sponsored 6th International IUAPC Conference On Green Chemistry in Venice, Italy.
