The Team
Dr. Sanjay Sahare
Coordinator of the project, Polonez Bis I
Dr. Sanjay Sahare is a MSCA-Polonez fellow at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. He has also received a prestigious Fondecyt fellowship from Govt. of Chile (2022). Earlier, he worked at the Institute for Advanced Study, Shenzhen University, China, (2019-2021). He was the DST post-doctoral fellow at Shiv-Nadar University, India in 2018-2019. He has completed a Master’s from RTMNU and was awarded Ph.D. (2018) from the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune, India. His research interests focus on Hybrid solar cells, Scanning probe microscopy, Fabrication, and characterizations of semiconductor devices.
Prof. Marcin Ziółek
Mentor
Prof. Marcin Zi´ołek is working at the Faculty of Physics, Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań, Poland. His first scientific topics were femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrashort pulse propagation, and supercontinuum generation. After completing his Ph.D. degree (in 2003 at AMU), he started to study the excited state proton transfer process and photochromism phenomena. He was a postdoc at Universidad de Castilla La Mancha in Toledo, Spain, under the Marie Curie Fellowship (2009-2011). In 2013, he completed his habilitation degree at AMU. From 2020, he is a Full Professor. For the recent 12 years, his main scientific interests have been dye-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and photocatalytic systems, with a particular focus on their studies using time-resolved laser spectroscopy techniques.
Dr. Mykhailo Solovan
Dr. Mykhailo Solovan did his Ph.D. (2014) and received his Doctor of Sciences in Physics of Semiconductors and Dielectrics (2020) from Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine. He was working as an Associate Professor at Chernivtsi National University (2014-2022). Being a visiting researcher, he visited many prestigious universities including Massachusetts Lowell, USA, Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan. Currently, he is working as a NAWA Post-Doctoral Fellow at Adam Mickiewicz University, Pozna´n, Poland. His research interest focused on electronic processes in novel inorganic, organic and hybrid perovskite optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.
