The Ossila Team


Ossila Chairman, Prof. David Lidzey

Prof. David Lidzey - Chairman

As professor of physics at the University of Sheffield, Prof. David Lidzey heads the university’s Electronic and Photonic Molecular Materials research group (EPMM). During his career, David has worked in both academic and technical environments, with his main areas of research including organic and inorganic solution processable semiconductors, photovoltaic and light emitting devices, and the physics and applications of organic-exciton polaritons. Throughout his academic career, he has supervised over 20 PhD students, authored almost 300 peer-reviewed papers with his work attracting over 14,000 citations.

Managing Director of Ossila, Dr. James Kingsley

Dr. James Kingsley - Managing Director

James is a co-founder and managing director of Ossila. With a PhD in quantum mechanics/nanotech and over 12 years’ experience in organic electronics, his work on the fabrication throughput of organic photovoltaics led to the formation of Ossila and the establishment of a strong guiding ethos: to speed up the pace of scientific discovery. James is particularly interested in developing innovative equipment and improving the accessibility of new materials for solution-processable photovoltaics and hybrid organic-inorganic devices.

Technical Director of Ossila, Dr. Alastair Buckley

Dr. Alastair Buckley - Technical Director

Alastair is a lecturer of Physics at the University of Sheffield, specialising in organic electronics and photonics. He is also a member of the EPMM research group with a focus on understanding and applying the intrinsic advantages of functional organic materials to a range of optoelectronic devices. Alastair’s experience has not been gained solely in academia; he previously led the R&D team at MicroEmissive Displays and therefore has extensive technical experience in OLED displays. He is also the editor and contributor of "Organic Light-Emitting Diodes" by Elsevier.

Our research scientists and product developers have significant experience in the synthesis and processing of materials and the fabrication and testing of devices. The vision behind Ossila is to share this experience with academic and industrial researchers alike, and to make their research more efficient. By providing products and services that take the hard work out of the device fabrication process, and the equipment to enable accurate, rapid testing, we can free scientists to focus on what they do best - science.

The customer care team is responsible for the customer journey at Ossila. From creating and providing quotes, through to procurement and inventory management, the customer care team is devoted to providing first class customer service. The general day to day responsibilities of a customer care team member involves processing customers orders and price queries, answering customer enquiries, arranging the shipment of parcels and notifying customers of updates on their orders.

Location and Facilities


Ossila Ltd. is based at the Solpro Business Park in Sheffield, England, and our subsidiary company, Ossila BV is based at Leiden BioScience Park in the Netherlands.

We operate a purpose-built synthetic chemistry and device testing laboratory on site in Sheffield, where all of our high-purity, batch-specific polymers and other formulations are made. This is complemented by a dedicated suite of thin-film and organic electronics testing and analysis tools within the device fabrication cluster housed in a class 1000 cleanroom in the EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility.

All our electronic equipment is manufactured on-site.
