Alex REDINGER

Alex Redinger is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics and Materials Science at the University of Luxembourg, leading the Surface and Interface Physics research group. His work focuses on semiconductor surface properties for solar cells, utilizing advanced techniques like scanning probe microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and luminescence methods. He teaches Solid State Physics and Science Communication in the Master of Physics program.

Education: PhD in Surface Science from Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (summa cum laude), Diplom Physiker from the same institution, postdoctoral stays at the University of Luxembourg and HZB Berlin.

Research interests include semiconductor surface engineering, thin-film solar cells, and nanoscale material characterization. His publications emphasize perovskite solar cells, interface stability, and degradation mechanisms. Over 88 scientific papers have been published, with key contributions on tin halide perovskites and CIGSe materials.

Key awards include the FNR ATTRACT consolidator grant (2016) supporting his research group and an outstanding publication award (2014). He has supervised five PhD graduates since 2017 and actively participates in science outreach events like Open Days and Science Festivals.

Research group activities involve developing novel solar cell interfaces and improving material stability through advanced characterization techniques. Current projects explore epitaxial thin films and light-induced material modifications.
