Nominator's project description

Professor Park is a pioneering figure in perovskite photovoltaics. He developed the first solid-state perovskite solar cell and has since made seminal contributions that bridge fundamental materials chemistry and device physics with practical photovoltaic applications. During his stay in Germany, he will work on advanced perovskite materials and device concepts to further improve efficiency and long-term stability.
