Abstract
Advances in colloidal quantum dots, perovskites, and nanostructured metals have increased dramatically our http://marconiunion.com/wp-content.php?=buy-lasix-water-pills ability to construct new functional optoelectronic and electrochemical devices. I will highlight recent advances in light sensors, solar cells, and lasers based on quantum dots; perovskites in both solar cells and light-emitting devices; and new electrocatalysis systems for the upgrade of renewable electricity + CO2 into fuels and chemical

Congratulations to Prof. Sasha Voznyy on securing a professorship at the University of Toronto
We are delighted to report that our own Dr. Sasha Voznyy is to become Prof. Sasha Voznyy.
Sasha will take up a tenure-stream position at the University of Toronto (Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, which is situated on the UofT campus situated in Scarborough) effective July 1, 2018.
Sasha competed successfully in a global search for the position in Clean Energy Chemistry.
Sasha is currently recruiting students, to find out more please see: http://cleanenergy.utoronto.ca

Sargent Group currently hiring Post-Doctoral Fellows in the field of perovskites for solar cells and light emission applications
Perovskite materials for solar cell and light emission applications
Our group unites chemistry, physics, and engineering within eight experimental laboratories at the University of Toronto. Our mission is to advance the physics and chemistry of optoelectronic materials and devices, and to apply this knowledge to address key challenges in sustainable energy. Our group culture fosters win-win teamwork; prizes communication that clarifies and finds connections and new scientific avenues; and strives for excellence.
We are recruiting postdoctoral fellows in perovskite materials development and optoelectronic applications including light-emitting diodes, lasers, color converters, and solar cells.
Candidates with demonstrated expertise in experimental research (such as materials synthesis, characterization and fabrication of perovskite, silicon, organic and other semiconductor-based devices) and theory (such as density functional theory and computational materials science more broadly) are encouraged to apply. Our research is aimed at building functional devices that appreciably exceed existing performance records, such as in combined {efficiency * operating device lifetime}. The principal goal will be first-authored publications in high-impact journals; accompanied by the expectation that the candidate will devote a fraction of time to mentoring graduate students in the group and developing new research directions.
Applications should be sent by May 15, 2018, to Prof. Ted Sargent (ted.sargent@utoronto.ca) at the University of Toronto. Please list 3 referees who have confirmed that they are willing to supply letters of reference upon request.
