Bruno Ehrler is heading the Hybrid Solar Cells group at AMOLF since 2014. The group focuses on singlet fission and perovskite solar cells, both on the fundamental level, and for device applications. Before moving to Amsterdam, he was a research fellow in the Optoelectronics Group at Cambridge University following post-doctoral work with Professor Sir Richard Friend. During this period, he worked on quantum dots, doped metal oxides and singlet fission photovoltaics. He obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Neil Greenham, studying hybrid solar cells from organic semiconductors and inorganic quantum dots. He received his MSci from the University of London (Queen Mary) studying micro-mechanics in the group of Professor David Dunstan.

Professor Robert Dorey holds the chair in Nanomaterials at the University of Surrey and is Fellow of the Institute Materials, Mining and Minerals (FIMMM) and Higher Education Academy (FHEA) as well as a Chartered Scientist and Engineer. Professor Dorey joined the University of Surrey from Cranfield University in 2014. Between 2003 and 2008 he held a prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellowship.

María Escudero-Escribano obtained her PhD in Chemistry from the Autonomous University of Madrid in 2011. She carried out postdoctoral research at the Technical University of Denmark (2012-2015) and Stanford University (2015-2017) before moving to the University of Copenhagen as Tenure-track Assistant Professor, where she leads the NanoElectrochemistry and Sustainable Catalysis (NanoESC). The NanoESC group investigates tailored electrochemical interfaces for sustainable energy conversion and electrosynthesis of renewable fuels and value-added chemicals. In 2018, María was awarded a prestigious “Villum Young Investigator” grant, she is Chair of the Danish Electrochemical Society and Early Career Advisory Board Member of ACS Catalysis. She has received numerous awards in recognition of her early career achievements.

Paolo Bondavalli is in charge of the transverse topic on Nanomaterials team at Thales Research and Technology and he is a member of the Nanocarb Lab (joint team Ecole Polytechnique/Thales). Presently his work is focused on the development of new materials (e.g. graphene, cnts, nanowires) for the new generation of electronics devices and for energy storage applications and memristor. He is involved in the Graphene Flagship initiative as leader of the task on supercapacitors.

Magdalena Titirici obtained her PhD at the University of Dortmund, Germany. Between 2006-2012 she led the group Sustainable Carbon Materials at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam, Germany. In 2013 Dr Titirici moved to Queen Mary University of London, and in 2019 took up a Chair in Sustainable Energy Materials at Imperial College London. Her research interests include porous materials, hydrothermal carbonisation, innovative utilization of biomass and waste, biofuels, CO2 sequestration, electrocatalysis in fuel cells a energy storage in secondary batteries and supercapacitors.

Nuria Tapia-Ruiz is a Lecturer in Chemistry at Lancaster University since 2016. She obtained her PhD in Chemistry at the University of Glasgow in 2013. She conducted her postdoctoral work on battery materials at St. Andrews University and Oxford University before taking a lectureship position in Lancaster. Her research group focusses on developing novel and improved oxide electrode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries and understanding their underlying structure-property relationships. She is also interested in developing in-situ and operando tools to monitor real-time battery processes. She is a member of the Alistore European battery network and the STFC UK battery network.
