Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Nguyen is recognized wordwide for her outstanding work on efficient organic solar cells using solution-processable small molecules. She has also pioneered and advanced scanning probe microscopy techniques to image nanoscale properties of multicomponent semiconductor layers. In Germany, Professor Nguyen focuses on fundamental processes in solution-processed optoelectronic devices, with particular emphasis on the effect of energetic disorder on charge carrier dynamics and device characteristics.
