Personal Information

Biography
Roel van de Krol is head of the Insitute for Solar Fuels at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, and professor at the Chemistry Department of TU Berlin. After earning his PhD from TU Delft and a short stay at MIT (USA), he was an assistant professor at TU Delft until 2012. His main research interests are on thin film and nanostructured metal oxide semiconductors for solar hydrogen production. The aim is to understand how surface and bulk defects in thin films and nanosized materials affect light absorption, charge transport, recombination, and catalytic activity.
