Donia Saadi

Postdoctoral fellow

donia.saadi@unibz.it

Dr. Donia Saadi earned her B.Sc. in General Physics in 2015 and M.Sc. in Physics of Materials and Applications in 2018 from Carthage University, Tunisia. She completed her Ph.D. in Physics in 2023 at Tunis El Manar University in Tunisia, where her doctoral research focused on the study of magnetoresistance effect in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on organic semiconductor materials (polymers and small molecules). During her doctoral studies, she carried out research as a visiting researcher at the National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) in Canada and the Linz Institute for Organic Solar Cells (LIOS) at Johannes Kepler University in Austria, supported by national and international research grants. In 2024, she joined the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry at the Czech Academy of Sciences as a researcher within a UNESCO/IUPAC-funded project. Dr. Saadi’s research expertise spans organic semiconducting materials, thin-film deposition techniques, and the development and characterization of organic optoelectronic devices, including OFETs and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). She is also experienced in the development of biosensing platforms based on self-assembly monolayers and advanced functional materials. Her interdisciplinary work integrates organic optoelectronics, materials science, and surface/interface engineering, with targeted applications in healthcare, environmental sensing, and smart diagnostics.

    abstract = {N{,}N′-Substituted quinacridones are a novel class of commercially available quinacridones for organic electronics which are reported here. In this study{,} we performed in-depth investigations of the material properties of these molecules i.e. their optical and charge transport properties{,} infrared-active vibrations (FTIR){,} electrochemical reduction and oxidation properties{,} thin film forming and processability{,} and finally performance in organic field effect transistor devices. We show that substitution plays a critical role in the charge transport properties{,} with methyl substituted amine being the most favorable{,} followed by di-phenyl and finally di-butyl.},
