Dr Petri Murto is an Academy Research Fellow at Aalto University. He received his double PhD in Materials Science and Chemistry from Chalmers University of Technology and Flinders University in 2019. After his PhD, he joined University of Cambridge to develop organic semiconductors that comprise spin-half radicals, with the support of prestigious research grants such as the MSCA Individual Fellowship (2019–2024). In 2024, he received the Academy Research Fellowship from the Research Council of Finland and launched his own research group at Aalto. His research focuses on development of luminescent radical semiconductors and finding new ways to utilize their optical, electronic and magnetic properties in optoelectronic applications.
