PhD in Nanoscale Characterization of Perovskite Solar Cells
You like to contribute to cutting-edge solar cell research by unravelling processes happening on the nanoscale? Then have a look at this project!
School: School of Engineering
Starting date: 1st of September or by agreement
Your role
Your PhD work is embedded into a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Topic of this project is to characterize perovskite semiconductor devices on the nanoscale using atomic force microscopy. The goal is to clearly relate nanoscale observations to device performance. You would focus on experimental aspects and work closely together with another PhD student concentrating on modeling.
Potential tasks are:
Your profile
This is what we stand for
Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW is one of Switzerland's largest multidisciplinary universities of applied sciences, with over 14'000 students and 3'400 faculty and staff.
In the Organic Electronics and Photovoltaics research group at the Institute of Computational Physics (ICP) we investigate the physics of solar cells and further optoelectronic devices using innovative characterization and modelling approaches. We perform cutting-edge fundamental and applied research in a young team of motivated scientists.
ZHAW is committed to gender-mixed and diverse teams in order to promote equality, diversity and innovation.
