Presentation
Dr Laxman Gouda is working as a postdoctoral associate in Prof. Giulia Grancini’s group, University of Pavia (Italyfocusing on 2D/3D Hybrid Perovskite Photovoltaic Devices.
He received his Ph.D degree from Prof. Arie Zaban research group at Bar-Ilan Institute of Nanotechnology Advanced Materials (BINA), chemistry department, Bar Ilan University Israel, (2013 – 17). Following the completion of Ph.D he joined the Molecular Photonic Laboratory at Prof. Yaakov Tischler’s group, BINA, Israel (2017-18) as a pre postdoctoral researcher. He completed his first postdoc in the group of Prof. Francisco Fabregat-Santiago, University of Jaume I, Spain and Prof. David Tilley, University of Zurich, Switzerland (2018- 20).
His research mainly focused on the hybrid perovskite solar cells, Raman spectroscopy and photonic devices, and green chemistry – electrochemical value added chemical synthesis. His main research interest is developing a technology for efficient solar energy conversion and energy storage in chemical bonds.
