+32 11 26 82 79 Kaat Valkeneers obtained her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Hasselt University in 2017 after finishing a Bachelor's thesis on the synthesis of novel ladder-type donor units for organic electronics in the DSOS group. For her Master's studies, she went to KU Leuven and finished in 2019 with a dissertation in the group of Prof. W. Dehaen on a novel metal-free synthesis of 4-formyl-1,2,3-triazoles and their use in the preparation of triazole-functionalized dyes. Currently, she is performing her Ph.D. in Chemistry in the DSOS group. Her research focuses on the optimization of donor and acceptor materials for truly transparent organic photovoltaics.
