Dr Aernouts earned his Master of Science and PhD degree in Physics (in 2006) at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. Also the lab environment was drastically improved with setting-up the O-line infrastructure in 2009 at imec, allowing the processing and characterization of thin film solar cells and modules with area up to 15 x 15 cm². A next upgrade in 2018 enabled to extend the device size to 35x35cm². Over the last few years this activity has grown steadily with state-of-the-art work in organic solar cells and recently also perovskite-based photovoltaics, next to inorganic materials like Kesterites for future replacement of the currently strongly growing CIGS thin film solar cells. He has been a professor at the Institute for Chemistry at Humboldt-University since 2019 and heads a joint research group on operando battery analysis at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB).ĭr Tom Aernouts is R&D leader of the Thin Film Photovoltaics group at imec. From 2015-2019 he was a professor at the Institute for Technical Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
de Jongh) and then a position as a junior research group leader at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Justus Liebig University in Giessen (Prof. This was followed by a 2-year postdoctoral stay at the University of Utrecht (Prof. Antionetti / Smarsly, 2005-2007) for his doctoral project. His current main interest is research on sustainable batteries.Īfter studying materials science at the University of Stuttgart, he moved to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam (Department of Prof. Philipp Adelhelm is a physical chemist and works at the interface between the research disciplines of materials science and electrochemistry.
He became a distinguished professor at Kyushu University in 2010, and his current posts also include director of Kyushu University’s Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research (OPERA) since 2010 and program coordinator of Kyushu University’s Education Center for Global Leaders in Molecular Systems for Devices and director of the Fukuoka i3 Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research since 2013. Before returning to Kyushu University as a professor of the Center for Future Chemistry and the Department of Applied Chemistry, he held positions as a research chemist and physicist in the Chemical Products R&D Center at Ricoh Co., a research associate in the Department of Functional Polymer Science at Shinshu University, research staff in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, and an associate professor and professor at Chitose Institute of Science and Technology.
Adachi obtained his doctorate in Materials Science and Technology in 1991 from Kyushu University. He is a Clarivate Analytics Highly-cited Researcher in Materials Science (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Institute of Physics (UK), and Royal Society of Chemistry, and US National Academy of Inventors.
He has published over 520 papers and 80 issued patents. His work has been recognized by over 20 awards including the SEMATECH Corporate Excellence Award, two Dow Sustainability Awards, the Kuwait Prize for Sustainable and Clean Technologies, and the KAUST Distinguished Teaching Award. He joined KAUST in 2009, where he initiated an active research group focusing on the development of nanomaterials for electronics and energy applications. He spent over 10 years in the semiconductor industry where he implemented processes in volume production for chip manufacturing. at NC State University followed by a post-doctoral Fellowship at Sandia National Laboratories, USA.
