Institut fuer Angewandte Photophysik, Technische
Universitaet, and Fraunhofer-Institute for Photonic Microsystems,
Dresden, Germany.
Professor Dr Leo obtained the Diplomphysiker degree from the
University of Freiburg in 1985, working with Adolf Goetzberger at
the Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme.
In 1988, he obtained the PhD degree from the University of
Stuttgart for a PhD thesis performed at the Max-Planck-Institut für
Festkörperforschung in Stuttgart under supervision of Hans
Queisser. From 1989 to 1991, he was postdoc at AT&T Bell
Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ, U.S.A. From 1991 to 1993, he was with
the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) in Aachen,
Germany. Since 1993, he is full professor of optoelectronics at the
Technische Universität Dresden; since 2002, he is also at the
Fraunhofer-Institute for Photonic Microsystems, presently as
director. His main current interests are novel semiconductor
systems like semiconducting organic thin films; with special
emphasis to understand growth, basic device principles and the
optical response. Recently, he has also worked on device
development, such as highly efficient organic LED and solar cells.
His work was recognized by several awards, including the
Leibniz-Award in 2002. He was involved in the founding of several
companies including Novaled AG and Heliatek GmbH.
Professor Dr Leo has been a member of the CEI-Europe faculty
since 2010.
