Research summary
Professor Tim Schmidt’s research concentrates on spectral manipulation using excitons, with applications including solar energy. His work includes the application of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion to solar cells, investigations into the mechanism of singlet fission, and luminescence solar concentrators. His laboratory principally performs time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, and upconversion action spectroscopy.
