Current research
Will’s current research focuses on extending the analysis of the drift-diffusion model of perovskite solar cells in order to better understand the phenomena known as inverted hysteresis and provide a framework to use it as a diagnostic tool for real world devices. His work also involves extension of the drift-diffusion model and the development of the open-source PSC simulation tool IonMonger.
