18.03.2026 Since January, two new doctoral students have joined our research group

Since January, we’ve had two new doctoral students in the Solar Energy Conversion Research Group. Malwine studied chemistry in Marburg, but also finds physics fascinating and chose the Goldschmidt Research Group for her master’s thesis. She is now continuing her doctoral studies there, where she will investigate low-dimensional perovskites for use in perovskite solar cells. The topic lies at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and materials science and ranges from basic research to applications.

Aaron is actually a physics engineer—nothing he has to fear, not even a PhD in physics. He, too, has been part of the Goldschmidt research group for some time and is now focusing on perovskite tandem solar cells, which he aims to make even more efficient and stable by using carbon electrodes and optimized optics for greater absorption. This involves both optical simulations of light interactions within the individual layers of the solar cells and fabrication and characterization in the lab.
