Synthesis and Characterisation of Non-Fullerene Electron Acceptors for Organic Photovoltaics

Sarah Holliday obtained her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, UK before moving to Imperial College London to pursue her PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Iain McCulloch and Dr. Mathieu Turbiez (BASF). Her work on non-fullerene acceptors is considered an important contribution to the field of organic photovoltaics. She is currently a postdoc at the University of Washington, USA.
