He has been the director of 19 PhD thesis and he is directing 12 more. He got the Premio a la Excelencia en Investigación 2016 from the Royal Society of Chemistry, among others. Moreover, he has has been coordinator at the AEI in the area MAT in particular Materials for Energy and Environmental applications.
About his group
Dr. Bolink leads the research group Molecular Optoelectronic Devices (MOED). It is directed towards thin-films photovoltaics, electroluminescence, and sensing, in particular employing organic and mixed organic-inorganic perovskite based semiconductors, in particular, using perovskite-based mixed organic and inorganic semiconductors. In this area the group has collaborations with world leading companies like: Osram, Novaled, Oxford PV, Solvay, Airbus Defense and Space. Moreover, dr. Bolink has participated/coordinated over 16 EU funded projects and he has been awarded in 2019 with an H2020 ERC Advanced Grant (HELD).
