Halide perovskites are a uniquely versatile class of materials, exhibiting highly tunable photonic, electronic, and spin-dependent properties. Their soft, ionically conductive lattice and broad chemical flexibility allow for precise control over structure and composition, making them promising candidates for applications ranging from solar energy conversion and light-emitting devices to spintronics and quantum information technologies. These materials offer a compelling platform for designing multifunctional, adaptive interfaces, and for integrating advanced physical phenomena into scalable device architectures.
Our group combines first-principles simulations, data-driven modeling, and machine learning to unravel the fundamental structure–property relationships that govern performance, instability, and emergent phenomena in halide perovskites. A major research thrust is the chemistry and dynamics of point defects, which are central to charge recombination, ion migration, and long-term degradation. We investigate defect formation energies, migration barriers, and electrostatic interactions under realistic conditions, and develop mitigation strategies including compositional engineering, strain modulation, and surface passivation.
In parallel, we explore the growing frontier of chiral hybrid perovskites, where the incorporation of chiral organic ligands breaks inversion symmetry and enables spin-selective charge transport via the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. We examine how chirality, spin–orbit coupling, and lattice dynamics together shape chiroptical responses, opening new directions for spin-optoelectronic devices, polarized light detection, and quantum spin filtering.
Together, our work aims to establish a unified, multiscale framework for understanding and engineering halide perovskites as intelligent materials — where light, charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom can be co-optimized for next-generation optoelectronic and quantum technologies.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
