The Brédas Research Group

Welcome to the Brédas Group

Using theoretical/computational methods we seek to aide in the understanding and design of novel materials for organic electronics and photonics. Please see the research page for detailed descriptions of current projects in the group.

Georgia Tech-COPE Distinguished Lecture Series: Yasuhiro Koike - Wed. March 13, 4:00pm, ES&T L1255

The Georgia Tech-COPE Distinguished Lecture Series is pleased to welcome Dr. Yasuhiro Koike from Keio University on Wednesday, March 13 at 4pm in Lecture Room L1225 of the Environmental Science and Technology Building (ES&T). (Please note that this is not the usual auditorium in which many preceding Distinguished Lectures took place).

Dr. Koike is Professor in the Faculty of Science and Technology of Keio University (located in the Minato ward of Tokyo) and Director of the Keio Photonics Research Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering from the Graduate School of Engineering, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan. He served as a visiting research staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1989 to 1990. Dr. Koike has been Professor at Keio University since 1997. He specializes in photonics polymers, in particular, high-bandwidth graded-index polymer optical fibers (GI POF), highly scattered optical transmission (HSOT) polymers, and zero birefringence polymers.
