COURSE LEADER

Dr. Bruce E. Kahn, Printed Electronics Consulting, Rochester, New York

Dr. Kahn is a consultant specializing in the multidisciplinary fields of printed electronics, organic electronics, nanotechnology, smart packaging, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). In addition to helping companies and governmental organizations, he writes books, articles and reports, and conducts training sessions and workshops. Prior to founding Printed Electronics consulting, Dr. Kahn was a Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he started the Printable Electronics research program. Dr. Kahn's research group pursued the investigation, assessment, and development of the use of printing techniques (particularly high volume printing processes) and materials for the fabrication of electronic devices. Their work produced (both small and production scale) and characterized antennas for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, and assessed the process capabilities of a number of different printing techniques used for patterning conductive features. Dr. Kahn has developed and applied technology for printing chemical sensors. His group printed RFID antennas directly onto corrugated cardboard substrates, and investigated the affects of environment and conditioning on the electrical conductivity. Dr. Kahn is currently investigating other techniques for patterning functional organic materials, such as liquid dispensing, and has created working organic transistors using this technique. Dr. Kahn has a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska, and a S. B. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago. He is the author of over 75 publications, including the books Developments in Printable Organic Transistors, (Intertech-Pira, 2005), Printed and Thin Film Photovoltaics and Batteries, (IDTechEx, 2007), and Printed Displays (IDTechEx, 2008). He is a frequent lecturer and author, and regularly teaches workshops in the US and abroad.
