Research Interest: Peter Ho led together with Dr Chua Lay-Lay the team that set up in NUS 2004 the Organic Nano Device Laboratory (ONDL), the first comprehensive plastic electronics research lab in Singapore, to lead both fundamental and applied research into the physics, chemistry and processing of plastic semiconductors and their devices. This is now a 250 sq m Class 1000 cleanroom facility (with Class 100 workspaces) supported by 150 sq m chemistry and facilities space, and 120 sq m staff and students office space, with a steady stream of innovations in plastic electronics that are reported by the international media. We are primarily an experimental research group, although we also do quantum chemical calculations and device modeling to interpret our results. We aim to develop the required scientific understanding and nanotechnology breakthroughs to make plastic electronic devices more efficient and higher performing. These include light-emitting diodes, transistors, and solar cells, and graphene devices. We work extensively with in international and industrial collaborations. Current research projects and highlights can be found at: www.physics.nus.edu.sg/~ondl/ . Intellectual properties generated from our work are being licensed to companies. Work from this laboratory is regularly featured by the international media and the local media (see for example, the Singapore Nanotechnology Capabilities Report 2010).
