Bio and research interests
Dr. Sofia Masi (b. 1987) is a Senior Researcher at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castelló, Spain. She holds a Master’s degree in Chemistry (2011) and earned her Ph.D. in Bio-Molecular Nanotechnologies-Physics in 2016. Her academic journey began at the University of Salento (Italy), where she joined as a Ph.D. student in 2013, focusing on the processing and characterization of hybrid halide perovskite solar cells. In 2018, Dr. Masi joined the Group of Advanced Semiconductors (GAS) at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM), UJI, contributing to research under the ERC-Consolidator Grant “No-Limit,” led by Prof. Iván Mora-Seró. She currently leads the laboratory dedicated to the synthesis and fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Dr. Masi has developed significant expertise in the field of perovskite-based optoelectronics, particularly in solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) involving perovskite/organic additives and perovskite/inorganic quantum dot systems. Her current research focuses on the thermodynamic stabilization of unstable photoactive perovskite crystal phases and the development of semitransparent devices for building-integrated photovoltaics. She has authored over 60 scientific publications, accumulating more than 2,800 citations and achieving an h-index of 28. Her scientific excellence has been recognized through prestigious fellowships, including the Juan de la Cierva Incorporación (2020) and the Ramón y Cajal (2024). Dr. Masi was also featured among other prominent women scientists in energy research in a special issue of ACS Energy Letters (ACS Energy Lett. 2021, 6, 58−68), celebrating their contributions to the advancement of the field.
