Dr. Olga Malinkiewicz (born 26 November 1982) is a Polish physicist, inventor of a method of producing solar cells based on perovskites using inkjet printing. She is a co-founder and the Chief Technology Officer at Saule Technologies[1].

Biography

She started her studies at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, where she obtained a Bachelor in 2005. She graduated from the Barcelona University of Technology in Barcelona in 2010. While still a student, in 2009 she started working at the ICFO Institute. In 2017, she obtained her Ph.D. from ICMol – Institute for Molecular Science of the University of Valencia at the group of Dr. Henk Bolink, with a thesis on low cost, efficient hybrid solar cells[2]. In 2014 she founded Saule Technologies, with private backing and turned down an offer of €1 million (US$1.3 million) for 10% of the start-up.[3]

Awards

During her studies, Olga developed a novel perovskite solar cell architecture allowing the fabrication of such devices at low temperatures for the first time, while retaining high efficiency. She has been granted with the Photonics21 Student Innovation award in a competition organised by the European Commission in 2014 for this achievement.[4][5][6]. She published on the subjet an article in Nature scientific reports[7].

Professional life

In 2015, she co-founded Saule Technologies- named after the Baltic goddess of sun, along with two Polish businessmen.[8] A partnership is signed in January 2018 with the Norwegian construction company Skanska.The company is lookink for other partneship with companies operating in Middle East[9]. It is also working with Ergis Group, a rigid plastics film producer, on the encapsulation of the cells[10].
