Hebrew University’s Prof. Lioz Etgar was the first to demonstrate the possibility of working with perovskite as a light harvester and hole conductor at the same time, its multiple applications and prospects in solar cells. A pioneer in his field, Prof. Etgar is pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency and reinventing the ways they are used across industries and everyday situations. To achieve this level of flexibility in perovskite solar cells, Prof. Etgar’s research interests cover a wide variety of topics from improving photovoltaic parameters, to synthesizing hybrid materials at low temperatures. He recently won the prestigious Krill prize by the Wolf Foundation, solidifying the promise he showed in early years of professorship, when he received a Marie Curie Fellowship and won the Wolf Prize for young scientists. In addition to his academic career, Prof. Etgar has founded three startups based on his perovskite inventions, focusing on applications for IoT devices, construction and greenhouses.
