Welcome to our group’s webpage!
Liza Lutter has started her PhD in the group!
She joined us after earning her MSc in Nanotechnology from the University of Central Florida, where she conducted research in the Nanotechnology Lab, focusing on atomic force microscopy. A former rower, Liza still enjoys sports in her free time, particularly running and swimming, and never says no to a snowboarding trip with friends or family.
The new glovebox has arrived and is now ready to be used for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells and photoelectrodes.
Dr Matyas Daboczi is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow in the Nanostructures Department at the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research, working on solution-processable materials for solar energy conversion devices (solar cells, solar hydrogen generation and biomass oxidation).
Matyas is also a Visiting Researcher at Imperial College London investigating materials for solar energy conversion in the Eslava Group: Applied Energy Materials.
With his PhD research under the supervision of Prof Ji-Seon Kim in the Physics Department at Imperial College London he has contributed to the understanding of charge carrier recombination losses in perovskite-based solar cells giving important guidelines to increase device efficiencies closer to their theoretical limit.
After his PhD Matyas has also gained some useful experience in publishing, working as a Scientific Editor at Joule, a high impact sustainable energy journal.
Outside the lab, Matyas enjoys bouldering, playing tennis and squash, and catching up with friends over a good pint of IPA.
Halide perovskite semiconductors have gained a lot of interest due to their composition of Earth-abundant elements, excellent optoelectronic properties (including high absorption coefficient, high charge carrier mobility, and defect tolerance), the ability to be solution-processed allowing large-scale manufacturing, and tuneable optical and electronic properties.
