Gerwin Gelinck

Research area

My expertise is the result of a career-long interest in new semiconductor materials, advanced fabrication processes and device concepts. From my PhD in light-emitting polymers through flexible display research at Philips Research to my new decade-long appointment at the Holst Centre I helped flexible electronics becoming a reality - in consumer products (flexible displays) and in medical imaging products (curved and highly sensitive medical X-ray detectors). Current research activities include flexible ultrasound skin patches, microfluidic lab/organ-on-chip, bio-electronics and integrated photonics.
