Peter Zalar obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2014 under the supervision Prof. Thuc-Quyen Nguyen. His doctoral research focused on the characterization of the optical and electronic properties of novel p-conjugated polymers. He then joined the group of Prof. Takao Someya at The University of Tokyo as a project researcher. In that time, he worked on the development of optoelectronic devices based on organic semiconductors for electronic skins and wearable medical monitoring. In 2017, he joined Holst Centre / TNO to continue his research in printed electronics. He is currently leading the “Large-Area Sensors” research program.
