Jim Rybicki

Dr. Rybicki is currently teaching Electronics and Physics III but enjoys teaching the entire physics' curriculum. In addition, he has taught travel courses to Central Europe studying the history of physics. He also works with faculty across the university to put on annual Art and Science events. These include stage plays, art installations, and live music performances that have connections to science.

Dr. Rybicki's research focuses on organic electronic and spintronics. Organic electronics examines how carbon-based devices can be used as next-generation sensors, light emitting diodes, and solar cells. Spintronics investigates how the spin of the electron can be used to transmit signals. This provides student collaborators the opportunity to learn how to fabricate, characterize, and model device behavior.
