Profile

Oran Levy is a Sr. Research Assistant at The University of Queensland. His work focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of organic perovskite materials and their practical implementation in solar cell, photodetector and organic laser devices. This work is done in collaboration with researchers at CSIRO Clayton.

Oran obtained a Bachelors of Science in materials science from Flinders University. His honours research focussed on the synthesis and in situ analysis of monolayer metal-organic frameworks for low-energy electronics. Through continued research at Flinders, he gained expertise in surface-science specific synthesis and characterisation techniques including physical vapour deposition, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy both in home lab and synchrotron beamline contexts.
