Imagine having a detachable, high-resolution, handheld portable device that can instantly diagnose our medical conditions or disease within a second from the smell of our breath. Sounds like science fiction, doesn’t it? Well not for Johannes Bintinger. For him, the tricorder from Star Trek inspires a vision of what medical diagnostics, food quality control or environmental monitoring can look like in the future. Johannes earned a Ph.D. degree in Technical Chemistry (TU Wien, 2016) for his work on the Design and Synthesis of Novel Organic Semiconductors Towards Their Applications in Organic Electronics. In his work, he synthesized and implemented triarylamines and oligothiophenes as active materials in electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors, self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors, sensors, organic light emitting diodes and a phosphorescent light emitting diodes which he partially carried out at Columbia University (USA). Since 2017 he works at AIT in the field of Graphene-Based Field-Effect Transistors for Smell Sensing Applications and the development of an Optoelectronic Lab on A Chip platform. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
