摘要

Carlos Silva, Professor of Physics and University Research Chair in Organic Semiconductor Materials, enjoys international recognition as a leader in the development of the physics of polymeric and hybrid semiconductors by means of time-resolved optical probes, especially ultrafast spectroscopies. He focuses his current research efforts on exciton and polaron dynamics in polymeric semiconductors and novel hybrid materials such as perovskites, and strong coupling of light and excitons in organic semiconductor optical microcavities. Several of his publications have become landmark papers that have triggered widespread experimental and theoretical research by groups throughout the research world. What characterizes his contributions is a unique combination of materials processing know-how to study the appropriate sample for the problem at hand, with state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical approaches that open the door for new understanding.
