Leszek Majewski

Leszek Majewski is a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Manchester. He received his MSc degree in biophysics of Light Harvesting Complexes of higher green plants from the University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska (Lublin, Poland). He completed his PhD in 2005 at the University of Sheffield, focusing on alternative dielectrics for low-voltage organic field-effect transistors. He joined the University of Manchester in 2005 as a Research Associate and was promoted to Lecturer in 2012. His research interests include the physics and engineering of organic/inorganic/hybrid electronic materials and devices, with a focus on alternative materials, novel fabrication techniques, and characterization of electronic materials. He supervises PhD students working on various projects related to electronic materials and devices.

Leszek Majewski's research focuses on organic electronic materials, particularly organic/inorganic nanocomposite electronic materials and printed/flexible electronics. His work explores the development of high-performance organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with low-voltage operation, utilizing advanced gate insulators such as ultra-thin TiO2 layers and solution-processed nanocomposite dielectrics. He investigates the impact of processing conditions on device stability and the role of gate insulator modifications in enhancing transistor performance. His research also includes the synthesis and characterization of novel organic semiconductors, such as cyclopentadithiophene-based polymers, for applications in organic photovoltaics and flexible electronics. Majewski's contributions emphasize the integration of organic and inorganic components to achieve efficient, scalable electronic systems.
