Professor David S. Ginger at University of Washington (USA)

Solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are two important energy conversion technologies that can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

On one hand, solar cells can generate sustainable energy, and on the other, LEDs can enhance energy efficiency of lighting and display technologies. Dr. David S.

Ginger, Kwiram Professor of Chemistry, at University of Washington in the USA, is an expert in microscopy and spectroscopy as well as multimodal imaging applied to the fundamental understanding of solution-processed solar cells and LEDs. Between June 1 and December 1, 2021 Prof.

Ginger will visit Linköping University (LiU) and collaborate with LiU scientists to generate new knowledge and skills to advance the development of a novel technology platform for perovskite solar cells and LEDs. Prof.

Ginger’s visit is intended as a means of integrating of complementary existing knowledge between his group and LiU, and of generating new knowledge to advance the proposed field.

Moreover, his visit will contribute to building a collaborative climate in Sweden broadly and to creating new dynamic research environments for young scholars in Sweden. Prof.

Ginger’s visit will be a combination of research collaboration and tutoring at LiU (on a day to day basis) and interaction more broadly with researchers at other Swedish institutions (two-day visits).
