Yoann Olivier carried out a PhD thesis under the supervision of Prof. Jérôme Cornil at the Laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials at the University of Mons and completed it in September 2008. From 2009 to 2013, he held a postdoctoral fellowship from FNRS (Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research) and went on postdoctoral stays with Prof. Claudio Zannoni (Bologna) and Prof. Henning Sirringhaus (Cambridge). His research interests deal with the understanding of electronic processes in organic conjugated and 2D materials, especially, charge transport using a multiscale approach combining quantum-chemical methods, Monte Carlo approach and molecular dynamics simulations. Recently, he developed an interest in a new class of materials for organic light-emitting diodes exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence, focusing on their electronic structure and their energy transport properties.
