Dr. Fan Fu is a group leader at Empa-Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in materials science from the Wuhan University of Technology in 2010 and 2013, respectively. He joined Prof. Ayodhya N. Tiwari's group as a Ph.D. student in 2014 and earned his Ph.D. degree from ETH Zürich with distinction in 2017. His doctoral thesis on perovskite-CIGS thin-film tandem solar cells was awarded ETH Medal. From January 2018 to May 2019, he worked as a postdoc researcher in Prof. Christophe Ballif's group at EPFL. In June 2019, he joined Empa as a group leader. He is currently leading a research team investigating novel perovskite semiconductors for energy and optoelectronics applications. In particular, his group's recent research efforts focus on upscaling high-performance perovskite-based tandem solar cells and mini-modules on flexible substrates.
November 2021, Jan Christoph Goldschmidt has started as professor of Physics of Solar Energy Conversion at the University of Marburg, Germany.
Before, he has been Head of Group "Novel Solar Cells Concepts" at Fraunhofer ISE, Freiburg, Germany since 2010. In 2012/2013 he visited Imperial College, London, UK and the MCC Berlin, Germany for research stays.
He received his PhD from the University of Konstanz, Germany for his work at Fraunhofer ISE. He studied Physics at the Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg and the UNSW, Sydney, Ausstralia.

Tomas Leijtens
Tomas obtained his PhD at Oxford for his work understanding degradation mechanisms and photophysical processes in dye sensitized and perovskite solar cells. He was a Marie Curie fellow at Stanford, where he co-developed the first all-perovskite tandem solar cells and helped develop the perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells that became the first points on the NREL chart for these tandems. He then carried that research further at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as a Staff Scientist. He is a co-founder and the chief technical officer of Swift Solar, which is developing and commercializing perovskite tandem PV.
Dr Laura Miranda Perez is the Head of Materials Research and Characterisation at Oxford PV, a spin-out of Oxford University that is commercialising perovskites for photovoltaic applications. Laura has a strong background in materials synthesis and characterisation. Prior to joining Oxford PV she was a fellow at the University of Oxford, where her work focused on perovskites and carbon materials. Before this, Laura held a fellowship in perovskite thin film materials at the College du France in Paris. Laura undertook her PhD in Madrid, Spain and Sheffield, UK, in the screening of new families of hexagonal perovskite materials.
