Larissa's research explores photoresponsive materials for key technology applications, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPV). Her research interests involve the use of a range of optical spectroscopy techniques to investigate organic semiconductor materials.

Originally from Brazil, Larissa completed her BSc and MSc in Physics at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis.

She then moved to Durham University, UK, as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Early-Stage Researcher in Professor Andrew Monkman’s group. Her PhD studies investigated the photophysics of organic materials for application in organic light-emitting diodes. During this period, she was also a research visitor at the University of Bayreuth in 2020 and at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in 2022.

Recently, Larissa joined the research group of Professor Rachel C Evans at the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy (DMSM) at the University of Cambridge as an 1851 Research Fellow.

Larissa's research is focused on developing materials for key technology applications. Her research contributions include over 10 scientific articles published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. During her doctoral studies, she dedicated her research project to the development of energy-efficient materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This endeavour involved exploring a wide range of optical spectroscopy techniques to gain a deep understanding of these materials and establish key parameters that significantly impact their performance. In her current project as part of the 1851 Research Fellowship, Larissa extends her expertise beyond optical spectroscopy and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) to innovative organic photovoltaics. To achieve this, she has joined the research group of Professor Rachel C Evans at the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy (DMSM) at the University of Cambridge, a world-leading group in the field. In this project, she will explore photoresponsive materials for spectral converters.
