Principal Investigator
Erkan Aydin
Short Bio
Erkan Aydın earned his PhD from the Micro and Nanotechnology Program at TOBB University of Economics and Technology in 2016. Following this, he conducted postdoctoral research at KAUST for seven and a half years, where he contributed significantly to advancements in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. His work at KAUST resulted in several record-breaking efficiencies and made substantial contributions to the performance, stability enhancement, and scalability of tandem solar cells for industrial processes. In 2022, Dr. Aydın received the prestigious ERC Starting Grant for his project titled INPERSPACE. He now leads his team at LMU Munich.
