Giulia Grancini (born May 5, 1984) is an Italian physicist who is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pavia. Her work considers new materials for photovoltaic devices, including perovskites and polymer-based materials. In 2020, Grancini was named the Royal Society of Chemistry Journal of Materials Chemistry Lecturer.
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Grancini was born in Pavia.[1] She attended the Polytechnic University of Milan. During her doctorate degree she spent one year at the University of Oxford, where she investigated polymer solar cells.[2] Grancini returned to Italy, where she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.[1] She spent a year as a visiting researcher at the University of Utah working on the physics of hybrid materials with Zeev Vardeny.[citation needed]
Research and career
[edit | edit source]Grancini investigates the interfaces of optoelectronic devices, including organic and organic-inorganic perovskites.[1][3] She moved to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2015, where she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to join the research group of Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin.[4][5] At EPFL she established her own independent research group looking at novel materials for photovoltaics.[6] She was awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione Energy grant to study multi-dimensional interfaces for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.[7] She has pioneered hybrid two- and three-dimensional perovskite systems, which can demonstrate high stability and impressive performance in photovoltaic devices. Grancini makes use of ultra-fast spectroscopies to study the dynamics of the photoexcited states of perovskite materials.[4]
In 2018, Grancini was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant.[8] Her proposal, HYbrid NANOstructured multi-functional interfaces for stable, efficient and eco-friendly photovoltaic devices, looks to realise environmentally friendly perovskites and metal-organic frameworks.[8] She was appointed to the faculty at the University of Pavia in 2019, where she leads the PVsquared2 team.[9]
