Olga Yamilova

Ph.D. thesis: “Revealing electrochemical degradation pathways in complex metal halides and  design of stable perovskite solar cells”

Supervisor: Prof. Keith Stevenson

IDC committee members: Prof. Keith Stevenson and Prof. Andriy Zhugayevych

Olga graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2018 majoring in functional  materials for energy. Her diploma work was dedicated to operation stability of organic and hybrid  semiconductor materials designed for photovoltaic applications. At Skoltech Olga’s focus of  research is also on the stability issues. In her current project, she works on further investigation of  the electrochemical stability of complex metal halides with perovskite structure.
