Our Disciplinary centers
Center for LMPV
Disciplinary Centers are dedicated hubs for training and scientific exchange. They are designed to foster the development of expertise, train researchers, and stimulate scientific interaction and collaboration. These centers focus on specific areas of expertise, whereas the research themes cover broader research domains.
The Center for LMPV focuses on scientific exchange and academic training in the field of Light Management in new Photovoltaic Materials (LMPV). Activities within the center foster the development of expertise, train researchers, and stimulate scientific interaction and collaboration among the LMPV researchers.
Area of expertise
Our research program uses fundamental insights in (nano)photonics and (nano)materials to efficiently convert sunlight to electricity and chemicals. We develop new material properties and device functionalities, ranging from self-optimizing tandem solar cells to programmable designs for light-driven chemical reactors.
We provide training on topics such as solar energy conversion, optical microscopy, electrochemistry, and electron microscopy. Our offering includes:
- AMOLF Energy Research Academy: a series of tutorials on solid state physics, microscopy, and nanophotonics
- LMPV Colloquia: sharing research progress and developing presentation skills
- LMPV Summer School: lectures, soft skills, and team building
- Cleanroom and advanced nanofabrication expertise
The Center for LMPV is closely linked to our Sustainable Energy Materials research theme, that explores how manipulating light, electrons, and ions in space and time leads to new ways to convert energy.
