ABOUT

John was born in Alagoas, Brazil, and earned his PhD from the University of Glasgow, where his research focused on the synthesis of organic materials for photovoltaic cells. During his doctoral studies, he spent time as a visiting student at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, where he worked on the fabrication of photovoltaic devices.

In 2019, John joined the Zysman-Colman group at the University of St Andrews to work on the design of multi-resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters for OLEDs. As part of his research, he also undertook a short placement at Kyushu University in Japan, where he investigated new materials for OLED applications.

Currently, his research is centered on the development of high-efficiency blue MR-TADF materials for OLEDs. He has extensive experience in the design of functional materials and in performing advanced optoelectronic measurements.
