معرفی
Ellen Moons is a Professor of Physics at Karlstad University, Sweden, specializing in organic and hybrid photovoltaic materials. Her research focuses on thin film morphology, stability, and energy conversion efficiency in solar cells. She leads a group using advanced techniques like AFM-IR, X-ray spectroscopy, and synchrotron-based methods to study material interfaces and degradation mechanisms.
Education: PhD from Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel), postdoctoral work at EPFL (Switzerland) and TU Delft (Netherlands). Prior roles include Research Scientist at Cambridge Display Technology (UK) and Research Assistant at University of Cambridge.
Research Themes:
- Self-organization of conjugated polymers in solution-processed thin films
- Interfacial engineering in perovskite and polymer solar cells
- Photodegradation mechanisms and material stability under ambient conditions
- Nanostructure characterization via advanced microscopy/spectroscopy
Collaborations: Key partnerships include MAX IV synchrotron (Sweden), Jagiellonian University (Poland), and institutions in China, Spain, and the US. Active in EU projects like OPVStability (MSCA) and PRISMAS (COFUND).
Teaching: Functional Materials (CBAD81), Experimental Physics (FYGB06), and data analysis courses (FYGA25).
