Meet the Team
Our lab brings together students and researchers from diverse backgrounds — chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, and materials science — united by a shared interest in materials and devices for solar energy conversion, carbon capture, and CO₂ utilization.
Principal Investigators
Eran Edri
Associate Professor & Research Group Director
Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Our research focuses on the science and engineering of thin-film semiconductor materials and interfaces for solar energy conversion, photoelectrochemistry, and electrochemical CO₂ reduction. We investigate defect chemistry, self-healing phenomena, and light–matter interactions in emerging photovoltaic materials toward practical carbon-capture and clean-energy technologies.
