Eric Bonvin is currently working at László Forró's lab at EPFL. A Swiss-American, he was born in the Lausanne area, and grew up in Switzerland, Germany. His summer project aims to develop ultra-sensitive light detectors that can theoretically pick up a single photon. To do this, Bonvin is given the difficult task of combining two of the most exciting materials: Graphene and perovskite.
