Juan P. Prieto-Ruiz, PhD (University of Valencia ‘14), Operations Manager
Dr. Prieto-Ruiz studied Physics at the University of Valencia (Spain). He obtained his Master of Science in Molecular Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, as well as his Doctorate in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the Institute of Molecular Science (Univ. Valencia). During that time, he focused his work in the field of molecular spintronic. After completing his Doctorate in 2015, he moved to Wroclaw (Poland) to join Saule Technologies, a vibrant start-up with the ambitious objective of commercializing metal halide perovskite solar cells by inkjet printing. His expertise in device fabrication and characterization allowed him to take this new generation of solar cells from lab to fab by setting up and optimizing the first pilot production line of inkjet-printed perovskite solar cells in the world. In 2023, he returned home and joined SCALE Nanotech to put all his scientific expertise to the service of GMOD technology, working to make possible the upscaling of the fabrication processes that will take this exciting new generation of displays to the market.
