Luiz Pereira received his B.S. in materials physics and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 1988 and 2000, respectively, in the specific areas of optical and electrical properties of semiconducting materials. Since 2001, he has been working in organic-based devices and is the head of the Organic/hybrid Semiconductors Laboratory at i3N (Institute of Nanostructures, Nanomodelling and Nanofabrication), a Portuguese Associate Laboratory. His interests are focused on organic/perovskite semiconductor devices, specifically OLEDs, photovoltaics, chemical and biosensors, and OFETs. In 2010, he received the BES National Award for Innovation in Clean Tech category for his work in low-cost organic photovoltaics. He is an Assistant Professor at the University of Aveiro.
