Dr Stoichko Dimitrov

Senior Lecturer
Director of Postgraduate Taught Studies of SPCS
School of Physical and Chemical Sciences
Queen Mary University of London
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Laser spectroscopy, Printed solar cells, Perovskite photovoltaics, Organic photovoltaics, Photophysics, Semiconductors
Interests
Dimitrov's group uses laser and optical spectroscopies to develop new generation solar energy technologies and materials. One of our main areas of interest is printed perovskite solar cells. The group also studies the photophysical properties of organic and perovskite semiconductors and solar cells, looking for stability and performance enhancements.Publications
