Lucas Polimante Souto

Ph.D. candidate in Nanosciences and Advanced Materials at UFABC, with a scholarship funded by CNPq. Master's degree in Nanosciences and Advanced Materials from the Federal University of ABC, supported by a scholarship from the Human Resources Training Program of the National Petroleum Agency (PRH-ANP UFABC). Holds a bachelor's degree in Chemistry and Science and Technology (BCT) from UFABC.During the initial years of undergraduate studies, engaged in the field of Inorganic Chemistry, focusing on the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles. Transitioned into research and development of photovoltaic devices in 2019, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. André Sarto Polo. In 2020, embarked on the master's project in the same domain, specializing in the development of hybrid perovskite solar cells. The project concentrated on electrochemical characterization of essential charge carrier processes using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the same research area, with a focus on comprehending electronic recombination and charge transport processes utilizing small perturbation techniques such as Intensity Modulated Voltage Spectroscopy (IMVS), Intensity Modulated Photocurrent Spectroscopy (IMPS), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
