Annalisa Bruno

 I am  Associate Professor at the School of Physics and Mathematical Sciences and Materials Science Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and a Cluster Director at the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). 

My passion for the environment and the sparkling mega-cities drives my efforts to make sustainable forms of energy real and efficient options for our planet.

Biography: I received my B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees in Physics from the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, where I also worked as a post-doc in the Physics and Chemical Engineering Departments.

After, I joined the Chemistry Department of Imperial College London, first as a Post Doctoral Research Associate, studying organic and hybrid materials for optoelectronic applications. During my scientific career, I have also been a visiting researcher at Lund University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Strathclyde University, UK.

In 2011, I became a tenured Senior Staff Scientist at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) and a Long Term Visiting Staff in Imperial College London. In 2014, I also joined the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N) as a Senior Scientist.

 Since 2017, I have been leading the Thermally Evaporated and Tandem Solar Cells team in ERI@N. We aim at developing highly efficient large-area solar cells. In 2022, I became an Associate Professor in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Materials Science Engeenering. 

Research interests

My research interests range from hybrid halide perovskite materials' optical and electrical proprieties to their implementation in a variety of optoelectronic devices. Recently I mostly focused on the development of highly efficient  single junctions solar cells and minimodules by thermal evaporation.
