Biographical sketches of authors
Walter Riess
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (wri@zurich.ibm.com). Dr. Riess received a degree in physics (Dipl. Phys.) from the University of Bayreuth, Germany, in 1987. In 1991, he received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Bayreuth for his thesis on nonlinear conduction phenomena in organic charge density wave conductors. From 1992 to 1995, he was a research assistant in the Physical Institute of the University of Bayreuth, where he investigated charge-carrier injection, transport, and recombination processes in organic light-emitting diodes. During his stay as a visiting scientist at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in 1994, he initiated a project on organic light-emitting diodes and, in October 1995, he joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory as a Research Staff Member in the Display Technology group. Dr. Riess finished his habilitation in 1996 with a thesis on polymeric light-emitting diodes. In October 1998, he became manager of the Display Technology group and continues to focus on display applications of electroluminescent organic materials.
Heike Riel
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (hei@zurich.ibm.com). Mrs. Riel studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. In 1996, she pursued practical training at the Institute of Technical Physics in Erlangen, working on the optical characterization of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. In August 1996 she began a four-month internship at the Hewlett-Packard Research Laboratory, Palo Alto, working on the incorporation of metal/semiconductor/metal photodetector arrays with microlens arrays. In April 1997 she joined the Display Technology group at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory to conduct her master's thesis work, focusing on the injection, transport, and recombination processes of charge carriers in organic light-emitting devices. In August 1998 she received a degree in physics (Dipl. Phys. Univ.) from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Since then, she has been pursuing work on her Ph.D. thesis on organic electroluminescent devices for display applications within the Display Technology group at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory.
Tilman Beierlein
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (tib@zurich.ibm.com). Mr. Beierlein studied electrical engineering at the University of Ulm, Germany. After receiving an undergraduate degree, he was with the Optoelectronics Department of the University of Ulm, where he pursued work on photoassisted wet chemical etching of gallium nitride. In October 1996 he began a six-month internship in the Display Technology group of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. In August 1997 he rejoined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory to perform his master's thesis on the fabrication and characterization of thin InGaN films for application in organic light-emitting devices. In February 1998 he received a degree in electrical engineering (Dipl. Ing.) from the Optoelectronics Department of the University of Ulm. Since mid-1998 he has been working on his Ph.D. thesis in the Display Technology group of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory on research and technology of organic electroluminescent devices for display applications.
Wolfgang Brütting
Experimental Physics II, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany (wolfgang.bruetting@uni-bayreuth.de). Dr. Brütting studied physics at the Universities of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Bayreuth, Germany, graduating in 1992. He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Bayreuth in 1995 for his thesis on charge transport in quasi-one-dimensional charge density wave systems. Since then, he has been a research assistant in experimental physics at the University of Bayreuth, where he heads the organic semiconductors group. Dr. Brütting has been a visiting scientist at Kyushu University, Japan, and at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. His current research interests include charge transport in organic semiconductor devices, especially light-emitting diodes from conjugated polymers and low-molecular-weight materials.
Peter Müller
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (pmu@zurich.ibm.com). Mr. Müller is a Research Staff Member at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. He is currently involved in the OLED project, where his main interests are electrified interfaces. He joined IBM in 1987 after having received a degree in computer science from the Brugg–Windisch Polytechnical Institute in Switzerland. From 1994 to 1996, he was a guest scientist at the Exploratory Research and Technology Organization (ERATO) at Tohoku University, Japan.
Paul F. Seidler
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (pfs@zurich.ibm.com). Dr. Seidler is manager of Science and Technology at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. His department pursues research in the fields of micromechanics, molecular-scale engineering, display technology, optical communications, advanced materials processing and characterization, and computational materials science. Dr. Seidler received a B.S. degree in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1980 and a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1985 for his thesis in the field of mechanistic organometallic chemistry. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Exxon Corporate Research, he joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where he worked on a variety of scientific studies related to semiconductor processing technology, in particular the kinetics and mechanisms of metal chemical vapor deposition. After serving a year as Technical Assistant to the Vice President, Systems, Technology and Science for the IBM Research Division, he moved to the Zurich Research Laboratory to become head of the Display Technology group and IBM's organic light-emitting diode project.
