Chun LIN’s Summary

Dr. Chun Lin is a Senior Scientist at Universal Display Corporation. Prior to joining UDC in April 2006, he was a Senior Research Chemist at PPG where he made a number of important contributions to the synthesis of new metal complexes used in phosphorescence organic light emitting devices (PHOLEDs) and related materials, including the invention of a breakthrough family of blue PHOLED materials. Prior to joining PPG he was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Albert Cotton at Texas A&M and spent a one year conjunct postdoctoral at IBM Yorktown, during which time he initiated the supramolecular chemistry of metal-metal bonded compounds and molecular electronic applications thereof. He earned his B.S. degree in Chemistry and Materials Science from University of Science & Technology of China in 1992 and his Ph.D. from the Florida Institute of Technology in Inorganic Chemistry in 1997, studying under Professor Tong Ren. Dr. Lin has over 40 publications and many patent/applications as the lead inventor.
