We cordially congratulate our member PD Dr. Tayebeh Ameri, on being awarded the Arnold Sommerfeld Prize 2020. The award was introduced by the Bavarian Academy of Science in 1994 to honor young scientists for their outstanding achievements in the natural sciences.
Since 2018, Dr. Ameri has been the group leader at the Chair of Physical Chemistry and Nanochemistry (Prof. Bein) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The main focus of her research lies in the development and characterization of materials for energy applications such as photovoltaic technologies. This includes perovskite, organic, and organic-inorganic hybrid material. As coordinator of the e-conversion Graduate Program, Dr. Ameri actively supported the upcoming generation of scientists. At the beginning of 2021, Dr. Ameri started as a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. We wish her all the best and hope to stay connected!
