Photonics for Energy and Sustainable Environment (PEASER)
Group description
- The Technologies for Energy (TEN) Laboratory, led by Dr. Raquel Caballero Mesa, focuses on proposing and designing advanced materials and devices for sustainable energy. Among other topics, the TEN Lab investigates the development of emerging photovoltaic materials for sustainable energy conversion, with special emphasis on thin-film and low-dimensional chalcogenide materials.
- The Biotic Photonics (BIPHOT) Laboratory, led by Dr. Martin López García, explores the role of nanophotonic structures in living organisms to uncover fundamental aspects of light management at the nanoscale in natural systems. These functionalities inspire sustainable nanophotonic systems including photosynthesis-inspired energy production applications.
