Aristide Gumyusenge
- Merton C. Flemings Assistant Professor
- Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Aristide Gumyusenge is an assistant professor of materials science and engineering. His research background and interests are in semiconducting polymers, their processing and characterization, and their unique role in the future of electronics. Notably, he has tackled long-standing challenges in the operation stability of semiconducting polymers under extreme heat and has pioneered high-temperature plastic electronics.
At MIT, his research group focuses on organic materials for smart electronics (OMSE Lab). Through polymer design, novel processing strategies, and large-area manufacturing of electronic devices, he is interested in relating molecular design to device performance, especially transistor devices able to mimic and interface with biological systems.
