C. Daniel Frisbie

C. Daniel Frisbie is Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Head of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. He obtained a PhD in physical chemistry at MIT in 1993 and was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard. His research focuses on materials for printed electronics, including organic semiconductors and their applications in devices such as transistors and electrochromic displays. Research themes include the synthesis of novel organic semiconductors, structure-property relationships, organic device physics, and the application of scanning probe techniques. Recent efforts also include new manufacturing approaches for flexible electronics and new strategies for electrocatalysis. From 2002-2014, Frisbie led a multi-investigator effort in Organic Semiconductors at the University of Minnesota, sponsored by the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) program of the NSF. He was the lead investigator on a Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI) grant funded by the Office of Naval Research from 2011-2017 for development of a roll-to-roll printed electronics manufacturing platform.
