CEPS CDT student researcher wins best poster competition at MATSUS Fall 24

The Materials for Sustainable Development Conference (MATSUS Fall 24) took place in Lausanne, Switzerland in November 2024. The annual conference covers all aspects of materials science, chemistry and engineering focused on developing sustainable technologies for the future.

Capucine presented her research poster on ‘Investigating the Impact of Mechanical Strain on Metal Halide Perovskites in Four Dimensions’ in the ‘Advanced Characterisation of Metal Halide Perovskites towards Improved Optoelectronics’ symposium. The poster showed the development of a widefield time-resolved hyperspectral microscope set-up used to track the spectral changes in the photoluminescence emitted by perovskites, over time. Capucine also displayed strain series measurements showing how application of mechanical tensile strain to perovskite microcrystals impacts their optoelectronic properties.

Co-investigators on the research project were Mr Qichun Gu, Mr Barnaby Lewis, Dr Bart Roose, Dr Milos Dubajic and Professor Sam Stranks.

Prizes of 150€ from ISIC - EPFL were awarded to the best posters. Congratulations to Capucine – a worthy winner!
