Lionel Derue graduated inPhysics from the University of Mons in 2010.

He obtainedhis PhD in engineering physics at the University of Bordeaux in 2013.

His main researchtopic was the development of cross-linkable systems to improve the thermal stabilityof organic solar cells.

He then moved to Ecole Polytechnique in Paris as apostdoctoral researcher where he worked on all solution-processed OLEDs.

From March2015, he joined the Materia Nova Research Center staff to develop white-emittingLEDs with hybrid architectures.

His research interests include deviceengineering and device physics in organic optoelectronics.
