Dr. Wolfgang Tress is currently working as an Ambizione fellow at LSPM, EPFL in Switzerland, with general interests in developing and studying novel photovoltaic concepts and technologies.
His research focuses on the device physics of perovskite solar cells; most recently, investigating recombination and hysteresis phenomena in this emerging material system. Previously, he was analyzing and modeling performance limiting processes in organic solar cells.
In 2016, he was awarded the Zeno Karl Schindler award and received the EES Reader’s Choice Lectureship for the most influential article in EES in 2015 published by a young researcher (within 10 years of receiving their PhD).
