Materials Webinar | Perovskite-Inspired Materials for Photovoltaics: From Design to Devices

Solar Energy Division, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Germany;
Dr. Eva Unger is a professor at Humboldt University of Berlin and the head of the Solution Processing of Hybrid Materials & Devices Department at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. With extensive experience in solar cell research, including perovskite, dye-sensitized, and hybrid solar cells, Dr. Unger has held positions as a graduate student in Physical and Analytical Chemistry at Uppsala University and as a postdoctoral researcher at Lund University and Stanford University. Dr. Unger's expertise spans photovoltaics, general chemistry, and physical chemistry.

Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Cologne, Germany;
Dr. Ashish Kulkarni is a DAAD-PRIME Fellow specializing in perovskite solar cells and silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the University of Cologne. Beginning with doctoral research under the mentorship of Prof. Tsutomu Miyasaka, a pioneer in the field, Dr. Kulkarni has developed expertise in both lead and lead-free perovskite technologies at Toin University of Yokohama. As a postdoctoral researcher, his research has focused on the enhancement of solar cell performance, understanding degradation mechanisms, and the investigation of interface properties to reduce open-circuit voltage losses. Dr. Kulkarni holds an undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee.
