Introduction to Professor Inganäs:

Olle Inganäs is professor of biomolecular and organic electronics, IFM, Linköpings Universitet, Sweden. He received a MSc in engineering physics from Chalmers University of Technology (1977), a BSc in philosophy and economics from Göteborg University (1978), and a PhD in applied physics at Linköping University in 1984. He was appointed professor in 1999, and is presently director of a Center of Organic Electronics in Sweden. He has contributed to a number of startup companies in the field of electronic polymers. Inganäs received the Göran Gustafsson prize in physics in 1997, and was appointed Wallenberg Scholar in 2010. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, class of physics, in 2006, and is a member of the Nobel committee for the prize in physics.
     Inganäs has focused on studies of the class of conjugated polymers throughout areas of polymer physics, electrochemistry, electronics and optics. The use of biopolymers as organisers of electronic polymers and as media for charge storage, and organic photovoltaics, are present topics of research. He has authored and coauthored more than 450 papers, has >23,000 citations and a Hirsch-index of 81.
