The effect of doping of the charge transport layers on the performance metrics of lead halide perovskite solar cell

In his proposed PhD research, he intends to fabricate and evaluate the performance of a flexible lead halide PSC with optimized charge transport layers. His project is in tandem with the need to come with efficient and low cost energy materials aimed at addressing the global energy ‘trilemma’ of energy security, energy equity and environmental sustainability.

University Félix Houphouët-Boigny (U-FHB)

Genetic diversity and optimization for increased carotenoids biosynthesis in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (l.) walp]

Fréjus is particularly interested in harnessing the power of both modern and conventional breeding tools to reduce the huge yield loss associated with pod borer infestation in cowpea. His Ph.D. research will provide a road map to develop demand-led cowpea varieties with resistance to insect pests, for the benefit of African communities, which heavily depend on cowpea for their protein intake. Fréjus seeks to develop his capacities to become an outstanding plant scientist capable of propelling Africa transformation through the development of end users preferred technologies, and research publications to increase Africa’s share in the global knowledge development.
