Ink formulation chemist

Introduction

Colorful, functional, and efficient: discover the possibilities of quantum dots (QDs) with QustomDot.

QustomDot is an advanced materials start-up founded in January 2020, and a Ghent University spin-off. We

QDs are semiconductor nanoparticles that can transform UV or blue light into pure colors such as green and

red, through a process known as down-conversion. The emission color of the QDs is determined by the size

of the QDs, which we precisely control through state-of-the-art synthetic procedures. A strong advantage of

QDs is that they are obtained as a colloidal dispersion, which opens industrially relevant processing strategies

such as direct printing or photolithography. As we speak, QDs are at the birth of the next technological

revolution in the display industry, after LCD and OLED. Current QD technologies, however, suffer from

instabilities under the influence of high light flux and elevated operating temperatures. We at QustomDot

have developed a technology that renders QDs suitable to be used as down-converter directly on LED chips,

QustomDot aims to realize the full potential of QDs in the imaging and display industries and for that, we are

looking for talented and motivated scientists to strengthen our team. For the position of ink formulation

chemist, we are looking for a profile as listed below. If your profile matches several points from the list, we

are interested in talking to you. As ink formulation chemist, you will oversee processing of our photostable

QDs-polymer mixtures into photoresists or inks for QD (thin) films and patterns. You will be involved in

formulating the QD resins and in the evaluation of the morphology and optical properties in view of the
