Biography

Kasper Moth-Poulsen received his PhD in 2007 from University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He continued his career as a post doctoral scholar in Copenhagen (2007–2009) and at University of California, Berkeley (2009–2010) before joining Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, as an assistant (2011–2014) and associate professor (2014–). His research activities focus on nanomaterials chemistry, synthesis, and assembly of single-molecule electronic components and on development of methods for conversion and storage of solar energy.

"This is a well-written book which covers all the important aspects of single-molecule electronics. A detailed description of this highly interdisciplinary field, from fundamental theory to experimental techniques, from most advanced studies to perspectives of potential applications, is represented in this book, thanks to the contributions from highly recognized authors of different backgrounds. It cannot only be a good reference for specialists who are doing cutting-edge research on molecular electronics, but also inspire young scientists and students who are interested in this field."
