Sascha is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Physical Chemistry and Head of the Laboratory of Energy Materials at EPFL. He is also part of the SCR of Winthrop House at Harvard.

Previously, he was a Research Group Leader and Rowland Fellow at Harvard University’s Rowland Institute. Before starting his lab at Harvard, Sascha studied Chemistry at Heidelberg University (Germany) and completed a PhD in Physics at the University of Cambridge (UK), where he subsequently worked as EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow.

Sascha is also a Forbes 30under30 honoree and has been a first-gen student. Aside from his passion for sustainable energy technologies, Sascha loves cooking, baking, lifting weights, and dogs! You can read more about Sascha in his interview with Angewandte Chemie here.

Delphine is the administrative assistant of Sascha and the Feldmann Lab.

She ensures a smooth-running laboratory and helps the rest of the team with all administrative aspects. We are so grateful to have her!

Antti is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Feldmann Lab with a focus on molecular photophysics and chiroptical spectroscopy development.

He studied Physics at the University of Cambridge (UK) and completed his PhD in Physics at the Cavendish Laboratory with Prof. Neil Greenham.

Zach is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Feldmann Lab specializing in perovskite photophysics and new approaches to semiconductor nanocrystal synthesis.

He studied Chemistry at Hillsdale College (MI) and completed his PhD in Chemistry at Florida State University in Tallahassee (FL) with Prof. Lea Nienhaus.
