dr. Monika Rai

Dr Monika Rai is a senior researcher in the FME group coordinating the research activities on large area printed and flexible electronics. She received her PhD degree in Physics (laser spectroscopy) from Banaras Hindu University, India in 2017. She then moved to Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a post-doctoral fellow where she delved into the spectroscopic analysis and excited state dynamics of hybrid perovskite photovoltaics and worked on its applied fronts including cell to module scalability by advanced printing techniques, ageing and building integration (BIPV). She has been a guest researcher at the Hebrew University Jerusalem, Israel in 2018. In 2021, she joined University of Stuttgart, Germany, as an Alexander von Humboldt to work on solar harvesting in perovskite PVs using the luminescent energy conversion materials. She is also affiliated to Uni Stuttgart as a guest researcher.
Her research career spans a wide scientific spectrum including - luminescence nano-structures, sensors, optical imaging, LEDs, perovskite solar cells and modules, transparent conducting oxides and printing technologies. Her research expertise and interest lies in exploring light matter interactions and optoelectronic characteristics of energy materials together with their printing and coating techniques for advanced applications.
