Dr. Lakshminarayana Polavarapu, University of Vigo, Spain
Dr. Polavarapu is a Ramon y Cajal fellow and the principal investigator of the ‘Materials chemistry and physics’ research group at the Centro De Investigaciones Biomédicas (CINBIO), University of Vigo. He obtained an MSc in Chemistry from the University of Hyderabad (India) in 2005 and his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the National University of Singapore in 2011. After being a postdoctoral fellow at CIC biomaGUNE (bionanoplasmonics group) and University of Vigo (colloid chemistry group) in Spain, he joined the Chair for Photonics and Optoelectronics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (Germany) in 2015 as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow and later continued as a junior group leader until May 2020. Recently, he moved to University of Vigo, where he leads the “Materials chemistry and Physics’ research group. He is a coauthor of over 70 publications. He was a guest editor for the themed collection on “Halide perovskite NCs” published in ‘Nanoscale’ (新加坡六合彩官网 Journal) in 2019. His current research interests include shape-controlled synthesis and self-assembly of metal and semiconductor nanocrystals for exploring their optical properties as well as a wide range of potential applications such as sensors, LEDs, photovoltaics and photocatalysis.
