I am a final-year DPhil student in the AFMD group. My research focuses on the development and deeper understanding of organic solar cells, which represent the second wave of organic electronics products to enter the market following OLEDs. These cells have the potential to become an inexpensive, efficient, lightweight, and flexible sustainable energy source.

My projects primarily concentrate on organic solar cell (OSC) systems that are either fully evaporated or utilise a combination of solution processing and evaporation in planar heterojunction and bulk heterojunction configurations. Specifically, the systems under investigation facilitate Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and we aim to determine whether incorporating FRET into an OSC system can enhance device efficiency and to elucidate the mechanisms by which it achieves this improvement.
