Azimatu Seidu has won a grant from the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters
Azimatu successfully applies Density Functional Theory (DFT) to screen vast combinations of different materials which find potential application in perovskite-based photovoltaic devices.

Azimatu Seidu from CEST, The Computational Electronic Structure Theory Group, won a grant for doctoral students from the Vilho, Yrj枚 and Kalle V盲is盲l盲 Fund.
This grant will finance the continuation of her project 鈥淩obust hybrid perovskites photovoltaics from organic-inorganic materials鈥 with Patrick Rinke.
Azimatu successfully applies Density Functional Theory (DFT) to screen vast combinations of different materials which find potential application in perovskite-based photovoltaic devices. This project is part of CEST鈥檚 efforts in identifying materials for future clean energy.
Congratulations Azeema!

Researchers turn energy loss into a way of creating lossless photonics-based devices
Turning energy loss from a fatal flaw into a dial for fine-tuning new states of matter into existence could yield better laser, quantum and optical technology.
Herd immunity may not work how we think
A new study from researchers at Aalto University suggests that our picture of herd immunity may be incomplete 鈥 and that understanding how people are connected could be just as important as knowing how many are immune.
