The winner of this year’s ChemSocRev Emerging Investigator Lectureship, Professor Aron Walsh (University of Bath, UK) kicked off his Lectureship tour earlier this week by presenting a seminar on hybrid perovskites at Columbia University, USA. At this seminar, Aron was also awarded with his official Lectureship certificate and he was “very honoured to have been selected”.
Aron’s research is in the area of computational materials science and it focuses on developing novel functional materials with potential applications in energy conversion, storage and transport, and for the development of thermoelectric, ferroelectric and photovoltaic devices. As part of his Lectureship tour, Aron will also present at the 43rd Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces in Palm Springs, USA on 17-21 January 2016, and give a special lecture at ETH Zurich, Switzerland on 7 February 2016.
