    Professor Stingelin is Chair of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech (GT). As an Associate Editor of the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, she received a €1.2 Million ERC Starting Independent Researcher Award in 2011 (http://erc.europa.eu/) and is, among other things, a Co-I of the newly established EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Large Area Electronics (http://www-large-area-electronics.eng.cam.ac.uk/). She is leading the €4 Million EC Marie-Curie Training Network 'INFORM' that involves 11 European partners.

    She was awarded the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining's Rosenhain Medal and Prize (2014) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI) Award for Visiting Scientists (2015) and will be Chair of the 2016 Gordon Conference on 'Electronic Processes in Organic Materials'.

    Her current research interests encompass the broad field of organic functional materials, including organic electronics; multifunctional inorganic/organic hybrids; smart, advanced optical systems based on organic matter; and bioelectronics.
