Reinder Coehoorn, Research Fellow
Philips Research Eindhoven, the Netherlands

Reinder has been with Philips Research since 1985. He is currently working on the charge transport and photophysics of organic thin-film devices, particularly in organic light-emitting diodes for lighting applications.

He has previously been involved in research on magnetism, including permanent magnets and magneto-electronic thin-film multilayers (exhibiting giant or tunnel magneto-resistance) for read heads, sensors and non-volatile memories, and has worked on a novel magneto-optical method for hard-disk recording.

In 2000, he was awarded the Gilles Holst Medal for his work on the physics and applications of magnetic multilayer materials by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen (KNAW, Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences), of which he has been an elected member since 2007.

Reinder is part-time professor in the “Physics and Applications of Nanosystems” at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), in the Molecular Materials and Nanosystems group.

He is also leader of the EU-funded project AEVIOM within which advanced OLED device models are developed, experimentally validated and applied.
