Gerwin Gelinck

Prof. Dr. G.H. Gelinck holds a Ph.D degree in (photo)physics of electrical functional polymers from the Technical University of Delft. In 1998 Gerwin joined the Philips Research Polymer Electronics cluster as a Senior Scientist, where he researched material and device aspects of organic thin-film transistors, with an emphasis on potential applications such as RF tags and AM displays. He headed the technology team that reported through scientific papers groundbreaking work on the use of polymer transistors in integrated circuits and tags, flexible displays and reprogrammable memories.. He was co-founder and Chief Scientist of Polymer Vision from 2002-2006. In 2007 Gerwin joint TNO/Holst Centre as   Program manager/director, leading an international team of ~20 researchers. He is appointed as full professor at the University of Eindhoven in the Applied Physics Department per Sept 1st 2014. Since 2019 he is CTO of TNO/Holst Centre.

Gerwin is the (co-)author of over 125 scientific papers on electrical functional polymers and polymeric devices and holds more than 25 patent applications and filings. His research interests include novel solution-processed semiconductors, fundamental charge and energy transport in these disordered materials in thin-film transistors, photodiodes and polymer actuators, and applications based on these materials/devices.
