Title: MOLECULAR ENGINEERING OF SMALL MOLECULE HOLE TRANSPORTING MATERIALS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATION

Born 8 Feb. 1962 in Bijotai (Šilalė district), Lithuania. Studied for diploma engineer chemist
technologist and PhD at Kaunas polytechnic institute (KPI) in 1979-1988. He is a Professor at the Kaunas
University of Technology (KTU), head of the group for synthesis and investigation of functional
materials. Have supervised 7 PhD students, currently supervising 3 PhD dissertations. His research
focuses on design and synthesis of organic photoconductors, especially in the areas of xerography,
photovoltaic, and organic light emitting diodes. Due to the intense cooperation with national and
international Universities as well as with well-known corporations (“Imation“, “BASF SE“, “Samsung
Electronics“, “trinamiX GmbH”) the group has been successful in creating several classes of novel
organic charge generation and transporting materials and this work is reflected in over fifty international
(USA, Europe, Japan, China) patents. He has published 108 journal papers in regard to these
technologies. Current research is focused on the dye-sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells.
