Larry Luer

Larry Lüer is a senior researcher and Ramon y Cajal fellow at IMDEA Nanoscience, where he has worked since September 2009. He holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Tübingen (Germany) and has held research positions at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and CNR/INFM. His work focuses on resolving photophysical pathways in organic optoelectronic devices through advanced spectroscopy and data analysis, with applications in solar cell efficiency and stability.

• Research Lines: Stability and efficiency of organic solar cells (OCS), excitonic effects in condensed matter, and two-dimensional electronic spectra modeling.
• Collaborations: Partnerships with Politecnico di Milano, University of Glasgow, and industrial leaders in device technology and biophysics.

Scientific Awards:

• Marie Curie Individual Fellowship
• Coordinator of European Marie Curie Training Networks

He leads the femtosecond spectroscopy lab at IMDEA Nanoscience, part of the Madrid network of user labs (Madri+D Redlab #280), and contributes to projects like ESTABLIS, POCAONTAS, and FotoCarbon.
