Jokotadeola Odutola defended her doctoral dissertation on Tuesday, 3.6.2025 at Tampere University, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
Title of the thesis: Using lasers to decode the solar potential of light-activated 2D carbon-based materials
Opponent: Prof. Mika Pettersson, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
Supervisor: Prof. Arri Priimägi & Prof. Tero-Petri Ruoko, Tampere University
The summary of the thesis: In her doctoral dissertation, Jokotadeola Odutola examined the impact of high-energy laser pulses on electron behaviour in two-dimensional carbon-based materials. Her findings reveal how these materials can efficiently convert sunlight into chemical energy, offering a way to develop affordable, sustainable technologies that could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
