LPVO Celebrates 20 Years

July 6, 2026

This year, the Laboratory of Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (LPVO) celebrates the 20th anniversary of its founding. Over the past two decades, the laboratory has grown into a well-established research group in the fields of photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and photonics, and today it has more than 30 members.

By participating in numerous research projects and collaborations with both local and international partners, we have made important contributions to the advancement of knowledge and research, while also publishing a number of impactful scientific achievements. Another important part of our laboratory is education. We actively involve students through academic activities (such as seminars, bachelor’s and master’s theses), as well as extracurricular initiatives (such as student projects and the EMC Workshop). Bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral graduates from our laboratory have gone on to successful careers in both research and industry.

On this important anniversary, we express our sincere gratitude to all current and former laboratory members, students, colleagues, partners, and friends of the laboratory. Through your knowledge, dedication, and collaboration, you all play an essential role in shaping our story.

Twenty years is an important milestone, but also an inspiration for the future. We will continue to pursue our mission of advancing cutting-edge research in photovoltaics and optoelectronics, educating new generations of researchers, and through our work contributing to the development of sustainable technologies.

Thank you to everyone who has been, or continues to be, part of the successful LPVO story. We look forward to new research challenges and shared successes in the years ahead.
