The Columbia Laboratory for Unconventional Electronics is a research group, led by Prof. Ioannis (John) Kymissis, working on advancing the state of the art in electronics through the use of advanced thin film semiconductor systems. We have an strong emphasis on the use of organic semiconductor systems for creating new sensors and actuators, and are also working on a number of projects using thin film inorganic semiconductor and sensing materials. Please check out our project summary pages for more information on our project areas.

Welcome Makers!
9/20/2009
Thanks to everyone who visited the DIY Displays exihibit at Maker Faire RI. We're currently working on assembling ktis and setting up workshops. In the meantime, all of the documentation for displays is being moved to its own website. Check out the information on screen-printable electroluminescent displays here.
Zussman, Kinget, Kymissis, Rubenstein, and Wang won the Vodafone Foundation competition
4/12/2009
Professors Gil Zussman, Peter Kinget, John Kymissis, Xiaodong Wang, and Dan Rubenstein were one of three teams to win Vodafone America Foundation's "Wireless Innovation Project" competition, which had nearly 100 university and non-profit applicants. The competition identifies and funds unique innovations using wireless related technology offering the best potential to address critical social issues around the world. The Columbia team will use the associated funding to support their project, "Active Networked Tags for Disaster Recovery Applications". The project focuses on developing a system that uses wireless devices to track and locate survivors trapped by fires and structural collapse. The system is based on energy harvesting tags using ultra low power communications. The project draws upon the team's diverse research expertise in energy harvesting materials and devices, ultra low power electronics, wireless communications, and networking.

Prof. Kymissis's book, Organic Field Effect Transistors: Theory, Fabrication, and Characterization, has been published by Springer and is now available. It covers the fundamentals of OFET technology with a particular emphasis on the fundamentals of the technology and the practical aspects of device fabrication and characterization.
