Congratulations to Farhad Akrami, who defended his Ph.D. work, "Surface Passivation of Lead Halide Perovskite Semiconductors for Improved Stability and Performance" on November 20, 2025. Farhad was a student in Professor David Ginger's research group, where he investigated how molecular surface treatments can suppress ion migration in lead halide perovskites and how tuning treatment conditions influences interfacial chemistry, material stability, and optoelectronic performance. After graduation, he plans to take some time to travel and reflect before deciding on his next professional steps.
