Election Remark
Alan Jay Heeger (born January 22, 1936) is an American physicist, academic and Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry.

Heegar was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 2002 for co-founding the field of conducting polymers and for pioneering work in making these novel materials available for technological applications.

Alan J. Heeger focuses on Optoelectronics, Polymer solar cell, Polymer, Nanotechnology and Organic solar cell. His research in Optoelectronics intersects with topics in Field-effect transistor and Transistor.

His Polymer solar cell study combines topics in areas such as Fullerene and Charge carrier.

His Polymer research incorporates themes from Electron mobility, Donor acceptor, Semiconductor and Polymer chemistry.

Alan J. Heeger focuses mostly in the field of Nanotechnology, narrowing it down to matters related to Small molecule and, in some cases, Solution processed.

Alan J. Heeger interconnects Layer, Photochemistry, Chemical physics and Solar energy in the investigation of issues within Organic solar cell.

He was elected as member of the Euorpean Academy of Engineering in 2007.
