Mihaela Girtan

Mihaela Girtan is an Associate Professor at the University of Angers, leading research on thin film photovoltaics and photonic materials. Her work spans transparent conducting oxides, organic/perovskite solar cells, and plasmonic structures for energy conversion.

Recent investigations focus on perovskite film optimization, indium-free transparent electrodes, and ellipsometric modeling for fabrication efficiency. Girtan pioneers oxide/metal/oxide multilayers as ITO alternatives and studies degradation mechanisms in organic photovoltaics.

She organizes international conferences on advanced materials and delivers invited talks on solar energy transitions. Recognized among the top 2% of global researchers, Girtan bridges photonics and electronics in her monograph 'From Electronics to Photonics: Towards Future Solar Energy Devices'.
