Biography

Dr. Anurag Krishna is an R&D Project Leader at Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) and EnergyVille, Belgium, where his research activities focus on developing perovskite module technology. Previously, he has been a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow in the laboratory of Prof. Anders Hagfeldt and Prof. Michael Graetzel at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. He obtained Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The noble mission of his research is to facilitate sustainable and affordable low-carbon and green technology solutions for the world. On the fundamental side, his research interests focus on developing hybrid materials suitable for photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and nanoelectronic devices. He is particularly interested in the (supra)molecular chemistry approach to tune the bulk and interface properties of halide perovskites and their consequences on photophysics and charge transport.
