Topic: High-throughput screening of organic materials
This PhD research will focus on:
i) Developing high-throughput screening methods for organic photovoltaics.
ii) Screening for power conversion efficiency and stability.
iii) Evaluation of novel systems and processing parameter space.
iv) Study of large datasets that will be employed to feed statistical tools and artificial intelligence models.
Roles and Responsibilities
The main part of your work will be carried out at Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain, in the group of Prof. Mariano Campoy Quiles, and secondment placements are planned to take place at University of Bayreuth (Germany, 2 months), the company InfinityPV (Denmark, 1 month), and Karlstad University (Sweden, 2 months).
