 Marc
Baldo is one of the newest members of RLE's large recent
contingent of junior faculty. Baldo was appointed Assistant Professor
of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the Spring
of 2002. He collaborates closely with his former Princeton University
and current RLE colleague, Vladimir
Bulovic. Bulovic joined the MIT faculty in 2000 as Assistant
Professor in EECS. Together with their students and research staff,
Baldo and Bulovic form RLE's new Laboratory of Organic Optics and
Electronics. RLE has completed extensive laboratory renovations
for the group recently, and additional new research facilities and
instrumentation in RLE are under construction for the investigators.
Baldo and Bulovic study physical properties of organic thin films,
structures, and devices. Their objective is to reduce the size of
active organic layers from the present nano-scale thickness of organic
thin films to that of single molecules, with the ultimate goal of
probing functionality of single molecules or polymer strands. Their
work includes investigations of visible LEDs, solar cells, chemical
sensors, electrical and exciton transport in organic materials,
heterogeneous integration of biological materials, and novel organic
transistors.
