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!
