Prof. Stolterfoht is an Early Career VC Associate Prof. at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He joined the Electronic Engineering Department on 1st of August 2023. Before this appointment, he was awarded a Heisenberg fellowship of the German Research Foundation in 2022 and he was the leader of the Perovskite Group at the University of Potsdam, Germany, and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Queensland, Australia. Prof. Stolterfoht is renowned for his research on effective methodologies to understand and decouple non-radiative recombination loss mechanisms in perovskite single-junction, and multi-junction cells, which are now widely adopted in the research community. More recently, they developed an experimental methodology to quantify efficiency and degradation losses induced by ion migration in perovskite photovoltaics (PV) and developed high-performance single- and multi-junction perovskite solar cells. With his research at CUHK, he aims to enhance the stability of perovskite-based tandem solar cells to an industrial level (>20 years), which is currently the major bottleneck for the large-scale commercialization of perovskite-based PV.
