BIO

Matyas is a Group Leader and MSCA Research Fellow at the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research working on solution-processable materials for solar energy conversion devices (solar cells, solar hydrogen generation and biomass oxidation).

His current research is focused on understanding and tuning the optoelectronic and electrochemical properties of easily processable semiconductor materials (e.g. perovskites, oxides, organic thin layers) applied in photoelectrochemical cells to improve their performance for water splitting and biomass oxidation.

Matyas is also a Visiting Researcher at Imperial College London investigating materials for solar energy conversion in the Eslava Group: Applied Energy Materials.

With his PhD research under the supervision of Prof Ji-Seon Kim in the Physics Department at Imperial College London he has contributed to the understanding of charge carrier recombination losses in perovskite-based solar cells giving important guidelines to increase device efficiencies closer to their theoretical limit.

After his PhD Matyas has also gained some useful experience in publishing, working as a Scientific Editor at Joule, a high impact sustainable energy journal.
