​Nicola Gasparini received his BSc and MSc in Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, and Photochemistry and Molecular Materials, respectevely, from the University of Bologna, Italy. In 2014 he joined the group of Prof. Brabec in the Institute of Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology (i-MEET) at the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnber (FAU) as Marie-Curie Fellow and received his Ph.D in 2017. His PhD work focused on the design and characterization of highly efficient ternary organic solar cells. Since September 2017, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His scientific studies and collaborative work have been published in over 50 peer-reviewed journals including Nature Energy, Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Advanced Energy Materials, and Energy and Environmental Science. His research interests lies on the fundamental and application-oriented research in lab-scale and large-area printed electronics, in particular organic and perovskite photovoltaics. His efforts have focused both on the design of highly efficient organic solar cells and on electro-optical and structural characterization techniques for probing charge generation, transport, recombination processes and morphology of photovoltaics. His research continues on the understanding and control of the degradation and reliability of semiconducting devices under light and thermal stress.
