SHORT CV

Cristina received her PhD degree in Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). She developed her MSc thesis and 1st year of her PhD at the research unit LEPABE (at FEUP), and the following years of PhD were conducted at the Polish company SAULE Technologies. This company develops perovskite solar devices and is pioneering the market deployment of this technology. Her research focuses on the development of industrially relevant perovskite solar cells (PSC) and modules, aiming to contribute to its transition from Lab-To-Fab. It includes carbon-based electrodes; highly efficient and stable PSCs for indoor, earth, and space applications; and scale-up of low-cost PSC structures using large-scale and solution-based coating techniques. She co-invented 1 patent, created 3 trade secrets, published 5 articles as 1st author, and participated in 12 international congresses.

 

 


Main scientific interests: Perovskite solar cells and modules, carbon electrodes, large-scale solution processes, accelerated aging tests, computational simulation (for solar generation and storage).
