“Kunal Datta earned his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering in 2015 and his MSc degree in Sustainable Energy Technology in 2017. During that period, he worked at the M2N group and at TNO-Solliance, developing thin film coating and characterization methods for halide perovskite-based photovoltaic devices. He earned his PhD from TU Eindhoven in 2022, working with Prof. Rene Janssen and Dr. Martijn Wienk on materials design and synthesis, characterization, and device development for all-perovskite and perovskite-silicon multijunction solar cells. His research was part of the NWO-funded Joint Solar Programme III and involved partnerships with groups in AMOLF, UvA, TU Delft and TU Eindhoven. Following that, he conducted his postdoctoral research with Prof. Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena at Georgia Institute of Technology on vapor-phase synthesis and synchrotron-based structural characterization of low-dimensional halide perovskites. Since 2025, he joined TU Eindhoven as a postdoctoral researcher, working across M2N and UDNS (Prof. Klaas-Jan Tielrooij) groups to study ultrafast spatio-temporal charge-carrier dynamics in halide perovskites.”
