We are pleased to welcome Dr. Amit Kumar from Oxford University to the Aydin Group at LMU Munich as a Humboldt Research Fellow

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Amit Kumar to the Aydin Group at LMU Munich as a Humboldt Research Fellow. Amit joins the group from the University of Oxford, where he worked with Prof. Henry Snaith on perovskite photovoltaics.

During his PhD at IIT Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. Supravat Karak, Amit was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship in 2022 to conduct research on perovskite photovoltaics at the University of Oxford. He subsequently continued at Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher, spending a total of four years at the university.

Before joining LMU Munich, Amit worked as a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where he investigated multi-quantum-well (MQW) structures for photovoltaic applications.

His research experience spans perovskite materials, low-dimensional structures, interfaces and advanced photovoltaic architectures. At LMU Munich, he will contribute to our efforts to understand and control degradation mechanisms in high-efficiency tandem solar cells and to develop materials and interfaces that enable more reliable next-generation photovoltaic technologies.

We are particularly pleased to support Amit's transition towards independent research through the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship. Independent fellowships provide talented early-career researchers with the opportunity to develop their own research ideas while benefiting from the Aydin Group's research environment, infrastructure and expertise in next-generation photovoltaics.
