The future of organic semiconductors is bright, thanks to their ability to react to, and produce, light on a much more affordable, sustainable scale than traditional semiconductors. But first scientists must learn more about the forces behind their light-emitting qualities, so-called Frenkel biexcitons. Now, a team of researchers led by Georgia Tech has found a way to measure and track them.

Santosh Vempala, professor and Frederick G. Storey Chair, and director of the ACO program at Georgia Tech.

The Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization program at Georgia Tech is among the best in the nation as ranked by U.S. News for Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics. Jointly organized across the Colleges of Sciences, Engineering, and Computing, the program distinctively works across academic and research silos. Now, Santosh Vempala is working on expanding access to the program and evolving a legacy of excellence.

Hannah Choi and Pete La Pierre are in the latest cohort of Sloan Research Fellows.
