Assistant Professor
Vincent is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics and Thin-film Energy Devices (CAPE) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). He earned his PhD at the University of Groningen (NL) under the guidance of Prof. L. Jan Anton Koster, where he utilised advanced simulation techniques to explore the fundamental physics of organic and perovskite solar cells.
Following his PhD, Vincent joined Prof. Dieter Neher’s group at the University of Potsdam (DE) as a postdoctoral researcher, investigating the role of mobile ions in perovskite solar cells using transient electrical characterization methods. He later moved to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (DE) for his second postdoc in Prof. Christoph J. Brabec’s group, where he combined machine learning and simulation approaches to automate the analysis of high-throughput experimentation for solar cell optimization.
Vincent’s research focuses on leveraging cutting-edge tools such as machine learning, simulation, and high-throughput experimentation to drive innovations in solar energy technology.
Simon Kahmann
Juniorprofessor
Chemnitz University of Technology
Simon is the Juniorprofessor for Experimental Semiconductor Physics at Chemnitz University of Technology. He obtained a double doctorate degree from the University of Groningen (NL) and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (DE) under the supervision of Maria A. Loi and Christoph J. Brabec for his work on Photophysics of Nanomaterials for Optoelectronic Applications.
Following his PhD, Simon continued research under Maria A. Loi in Groningen on tin-based and two-dimensional perovskites. He later joined Samuel D. Stranks at the University of Cambridge (UK), where he headed the spectroscopy sub-group to focus his work on optical microscopy of halide perovskites.
Simon’s work focuses on novel materials for optoelectronics (chiefly solar cells & LEDs), including organic semiconductors, colloidal quantum dots, and metal halide perovskites – chiefly studied through optical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques.
Bowen Yang
Researcher
Uppsala University
Dr. Bowen Yang is a Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala University, Sweden. She earned her Ph.D. in 2018 from the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Clean Energy Center, University of Connecticut, USA.
From 2018 to 2021, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Anders Hagfeldt’s group at the Laboratory of Photomolecular Science, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Her current research focuses on enhancing the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells through advanced material and device engineering.
In addition to her academic role, she serves as a Scientific Advisor at Dyenamo AB.
