Congratulations to Dr. Juan Pedró on His ETI Award for Chiral Nanographene Research

The Perez-Ojeda group is proud to announce that our postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Juan Pedro Mora Fuentes, has been awarded the prestigious Emerging Talents Initiative (ETI) from FAU. This competitive ETI funding is dedicated to supporting exceptional young researchers in advancing independent, cutting-edge projects, thereby promoting their academic autonomy.

Juan Pedró’s innovative project focuses on the design and synthesis of novel chiral nanographenes, with the aim of exploring singlet fission processes for potential applications in next-generation solar cells. This work is set to significantly advance the field of organic photovoltaics, offering promising new pathways for enhancing solar energy conversion efficiency. The project also strengthens the collaborative efforts between our group and the research teams of Prof. Guldi and Prof. Brabec, fostering interdisciplinary synergy in nanomaterials, photophysics, and synthetic chemistry. We are excited about the groundbreaking potential of this project and look forward to the advancements it will bring to sustainable energy solutions
