​Annamaria Petrozza was awarded a Master of Science in Electronic Engineering at Ecole Supèrieure d’Electricité (Paris, France) in 2003 and at Politecnico of Milan in 2004 under the T.I.M.E. (Top Industrial Manager in Europe) program. In 2009 she received her PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge (UK) with a thesis on the study of optoelectronic processes at organic and hybrid semiconductors interfaces. From July 2008 to December 2009 she worked as research scientist at the Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Ltd on the development of new market competitive solar cell technologies. In January 2010 she moved to Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia as a Team Leader and since October 2013 she holds a Tenure Track Scientist position. Her research work mainly aims to shed light on interfacial optoelectronic mechanisms with the goal of improving efficiency and stability of solution processable semiconductors and devices, with special emphasis on highly efficient third generation solar cells.
