Nominator's project description

Dr. Klimov is a world-leading expert in the field of nanocrystals. His underlying research theme has been the role of carrier-carrier interactions in quantum-confined semiconductors, but also practical applications of nanocrystals in areas such as lasing, solid-state lighting and photovoltaics. In Germany, Dr. Klimov will be mediating between his home institution and German nanoscience programmes and he will be lecturing on the most up-to-date US nano-solar efforts.
