Dr Neha Arora is an Associate Lecturer (Teaching) in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry at UCL. Prior to this, she was a Research Associate with Prof. Sir Richard Friend in the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge (2018–2021), where she focused on investigating the structural, compositional, and optoelectronic properties of next-generation solid-state materials for their application in solar cells and light-emitting devices. After gaining her PhD in Inorganic Nanomaterials from IISc, she joined EPFL, Switzerland, as a postdoctoral researcher funded by a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship. She was nominated by Siemens AG to attend the 63rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Chemistry during her PhD. From 2016-2018, she worked as a Postdoctoral Scientist with Prof. Michael Grätzel at EPFL, where her research focused on the fabrication and understanding of perovskite solar cells yielding high efficiencies and remarkable photovoltages. In addition to research, she has been involved in teaching solid-state chemistry and emerging photovoltaic technologies and is committed to enhancing student engagement and learning.
