My research project
Nano-manufacture of multifunctional IoT based devices with energy scavengingApostolos Panagiotopoulos is a postgraduate researcher and PhD candidate at the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Surrey. In 2020 the University of Crete awarded him a Bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Technology. His thesis (Fabrication and Characterization of Solution-Processed Perovskite Solar Cells) was in collaboration with the Center of Materials Technology and Photonics and the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH). Later in 2021, he joined the analytical chemistry group of Dr G.John Langley at the University of Southampton where he obtained his Master of Science by Research in Chemistry degree with Merit. Research project (Application of 1D, 2D GC-MS and SFC-MS for determination and identification of microplastics (MPs) and associated markers).
After he joined the ATI his research interest focuses on the fabrication of emerging solution-processed PV technologies non-fullerene and fullerene-based organic solar cells OSCs, perovskite solar cells PSCs as well as organic electronic devices such as (SGTs). His main research field involves the implementation of novel materials (surface engineering) and electrodes for the development of highly efficient OSCs for small and large-area applications.
