Mohammad Bereyhi was born in 1993 in south-west of Iran in Ahvaz. He attended primary and high school in National Organization of Exceptional Talents (NODET). He ranked 12th in Iranian national university entrance exam known as Konkour and started his undergraduate studies in Sharif University of Technology in 2011. He finished an EE-Physics double BSc in 2016 with thesis work on "Computational methods for guided and leaky waves in 1D waveguides" under supervision of Prof. Khashayar Mehrany and Prof. Amir Borji. He joined EPFL in 2016 after an internship in Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Light in the Nano-Optics lab.He started his thesis in the group of Prof. Tobias Kippenberg in the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements (LPQM) on "High Stress Silicon Nitride Nanomechanics" and its applications in "Nano-optomechanical Hybrid Transducers" under a Marie-Curie PhD fellowship. In 2019, he founded Nanofab-net - an online open access nanofabrication knowledge sharing platform - in the framework of EPFL's Open Science Initiative. Nanofab-net was granted 300 kCHF for three years to explore open science practices in the field of nanofabrication.

Quantum dots (QDs) – also called semiconductor nanocrystals, are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size, having optical and electronic properties that differ from those of larger particles as a result of quantum mechanics.

A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is usually defined as a particle of matter that is between 1 and 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter.

A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC, DSC, DYSC or Grätzel cell) is a low-cost solar cell belonging to the group of thin film solar cells.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of compounds consisting of metal clusters (also known as SBUs) coordinated to organic ligands to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures.

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry concerned with the relationship between electrical potential difference, as a measurable and quantitative phenomenon, and identifiable chemical change, with the potential difference as an outcome of a particular chemical change, or vice versa.

Redox (ˈrɛdɒks , ˈriːdɒks , reduction–oxidation or oxidation–reduction) is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of substrate change.

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer.

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer (monolayer) to several micrometers in thickness.

Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania taɪˈteɪniə, is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2.

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water.

Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 and 100 nm (the usual definition of nanoscale).

Thin-film solar cells are made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal.

Hybrid solar cells combine advantages of both organic and inorganic semiconductors.

Nanocrystal solar cells are solar cells based on a substrate with a coating of nanocrystals.

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

Surface science is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, including solid–liquid interfaces, solid–gas interfaces, solid–vacuum interfaces, and liquid–gas interfaces.
