Biography

Erkan Aydın is leading the “Aydin Group” in the Chemistry Department of LMU Munich. His research group is focusing on the development of “realistic ultra-efficient tandem photovoltaic solutions for earth and space applications“ by currently prioritizing multijunction solar cells, specifically perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells and all-perovskite tandem solar cells. Erkan Aydın obtained his PhD (2016) degree from the Micro and Nanotechnology Program at TOBB ETU (University of Economics and Technology) in 2016 and he pursued his postdoctoral research at the KAUST for seven and half years before establishing his team at LMU Munich. His extensive work at KAUST led to several record-breaking efficiencies in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. Erkan Aydın is the principal investigator of the INPERSPACE ERC StG Project.
