dr. Aslihan Babayigit

After her Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences (Hasselt University (BE), 2013), Aslihan Babayigit completed her degree with a Master in Bioelectronics and Nanotechnology (Hasselt University (BE), 2015). Her master dissertation focussed on the intrinsic thermal instability and environmental burden of metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). As a stepping stone towards her PhD, Aslihan was a visiting Researcher at the Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Device (POD) group lead by Prof. dr. Henry J. Snaith (FRS) (Oxford University, (UK), 2016). During this stay, her focus shifted towards tin based PSCs and the universal deposition approach based on complex-assisted gas-quenching (CAGQ). After her return, she continued the same line of research as a PhD Fellow of Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) under supervision of  Prof. dr. Hans-Gerd Boyen in the Nanostructure Physics (NSP) Group at the Institute of Materials Research (IMO-IMOMEC, Hasselt University—IMEC (BE)). To expand on her knowledge on tandem SCs, Aslihan next visited the KAUST Photovoltaics Lab (KPV-Lab), lead by Prof. dr. Stefaan De Wolf (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (SA), 2019). Here, she set up and investigated narrow band gap mixed-metal lead-tin perovskites for tandem SCs. After obtaining her PhD in Natural Sciences in 2021, Aslihan was granted a Postdoctoral Fellowship by FWO. She decided to join the Organic Optoelectronics (OOE) Group, lead by Prof. dr. Koen Vandewal at IMO-IMOMEC, focussing on stable wide band gap PSCs.
