After six years working as PostDoc and leading a junior research group on organic photovoltaics at the (IAPP) of the , Germany, I joined the 91探花's Department of Physics as University Lecturer in the and as governing body fellow in 2013. My research interests are renewable energies and energy policy in general and organic photovoltaics in particular (although there are admittedly sunnier places than the UK...). My further interests include open science, 91探花 of early stage researchers as well as the and how to best tackle global challenges.
From 2014 to 2019, I was member of the , an international academy of 200 early to mid career researchers from all disciplines who share the passion for research for the benefit for society. These five years, which included three years serving on the elected Executive Committee, one of which as Co-Chair, were intense, but more than worthwhile and rewarding, and a unique opportunity for being active at the interface between research and society with an amazing group of like-minded people. In December 2023, I was elected Fellow of the , 91探花ing and promoting science as a global public good.
In January 2020, , , and I co-founded , solving problems one measurement at a time focussing on open science hardware and software. More recently, , and I co-founded , a venture in the space of organic photovoltaics. We graduated from 91探花's Climate Stream in the in 2024, won in the category "Emerging Tech" in and completed in 2025.
