Sercan Özen is a doctoral researcher in the ROSI (Radiation-Tolerant Electronics with Soft Semiconductors) Group, part of the Physics and Optoelectronics of Soft Matter Department at the University of Potsdam. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics and an M.Sc. in Photonics Science and Engineering, during which he focused on the experimental investigation of doped cesium lead halide perovskites.
Sercan's research background includes both experimental and computational studies on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of perovskite materials, as well as work on graphene-based flexible photodetectors. His academic path reflects a deep interest in light–matter interactions and optoelectronic device physics.
Currently, his Ph.D. research centers on the development and space qualification of perovskite solar cells, including both single- and multi-junction architectures. His work contributes to the broader effort of adapting next-generation photovoltaics for space applications, with a focus on radiation tolerance and operational stability.
