Szymon Abrahamczyk
Currently, a student at the University of Warwick PhD Analytical Science. A member of Analytical Science Centre for Doctoral Training since September 2019 and the Hatton group since September 2020. The main interest is in energy materials, Organic Photovoltaics (OPV). My PhD project is regarding Low-work, air-stable electrodes for OPV applications.
