WISE takes pride in featuring our distinguished researchers, and this time we are happy to introduce Glib Baryshnikov, Assistant Professor in the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) at Linköping University. Dr. Baryshnikov earned his PhD in Physical Chemistry from V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in Ukraine. His research activities are focused on advancing materials for dye-synthesized solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes.
Why did you choose to join WISE?
I was drawn to WISE after attending several early presentations by Magnus Berggren and Olle Eriksson, director and co-director of WISE, respectively. Their introduction of the WISE matrix (research and thematic areas), particularly emphasizing design and modelling, inspired me to pursue WISE funding. It isn’t common for funding agencies to prioritize basic research, especially theoretical developments, and given my expertise in computational modelling, I found a perfect alignment with WISE’s focus.
Can you describe your WISE project?
In chemistry, radicals are atoms, molecules, or ions with at least one unpaired electron (odd number of electrons), making them highly reactive. Finding a way to stabilize radicals is crucial to harness their advantages in various applications. For example, organic light-emitting radicals can be used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs have long been considered for fabrication of lightweight and flexible units for next generation displays and active lighting. However, costs must decrease further to realize their potential. In my WISE project we aim to design new organic light emitting radicals for utilizing them in OLEDs with absolute internal quantum efficiency by using modern quantum-chemical modelling approaches.
Can you give advice to young researchers?
Navigating academic life demands a lot of dedication. My advice to young researchers is: read a lot, maintain an open mind, don’t shy away from asking questions, be proactive, and seek collaboration to carve your niche. Competition for research funds is very hard, and one may need to apply for funding to different funding agencies ten times or more a year, and maybe only one application may be successful. Never give up!
