10 May 2011 - Süleyman Er third YES! Fellow FOM

The Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter has awarded a Young Energy Scientist (YES!) Fellowship to Dr. Süleyman Er of the Computational Materials Science group (MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology). The former FOM PhD student will spend the next four years looking for a new class of solar cell components that can convert sunlight into electricity more efficiently and at a low cost. With a YES! Fellowship, FOM gives young researchers the chance to develop themselves at a top foreign institute in fundamental energy research. "Together with a team of scientists at Harvard University, I am going to screen molecular libraries and select the most promising molecules. Using these candidate molecules, we aim to design innovative structural motifs for the next generation of solar cells" adds Süleyman Er enthusiastically.
