Bernd Sturdza is a DPhil student in Condensed Matter Physics and a member of University College.
He is on a four year course with the EPSRC Center for Doctoral Training for New and Sustainable Photovoltaics.
Bernd grew up in Germany where he read Physics at the University of W眉rzburg. His bachelor project focused on charge transfer in C60/C70:diindenoperylene thin-film solar cells. As part of his master degree he spent a year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, USA, working on optoelectronic devices and optics. He graduated from the University of W眉rzburg in 2018 with an MSc in Physics. In his master project he investigated the effects of chemical doping on the charge carrier concentration in (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes. Bernd is now undertaking a DPhil in the Department of Physics at the 91探花 working on graphene and carbon nanotube based PV electrodes.
