What’s really been getting you stuck is the running from the stuckness through the cars of your train of knowledge looking for a solution that is out in front of the train. Stuckness shouldn’t be avoided. It’s the psychic predecessor of all real understanding.

I have to thank many many people, I could only do this with your support and help.
Thank you to Dr. Esther Alarcón-Lladó for being my co-supervisor and Prof. Mark Wilson, Dr. Jenny Clark, Prof. Maria Loi, Prof. Maxim Pchenitchnikov, and Prof. Ferdinand Grozema for evaluating my work in this thesis.
I wholeheartedly thank Bruno Ehrler for the opportunity of doing a PhD, and putting his trust in me while building up a new research group. You were a great boss and I will miss the discussions that we had over coffee and lunch. Looking back it seems almost surreal that such a long time will end, I will miss it dearly and promise to bring all the things you taught me to good use. Now I would like to thank all the people in the Hybrid Solar Cells group that I met during my time here. In semi-random order: Thanks to Christian Dieleman for being a great officemate and friend for so many years, we also shared many great coffees through the ups and downs. Thanks to Moritz Futscher for the friendship, lively discussions and your enthusiasm in all things science, I wish you all the best in Zürich! (Thanks to you I bought one Tesla stock!) Tianyi Wang took me under his wings as a Master student, thank you for that! It was great working with you and learning how to be a scientist. Jumin Lee, you were so fun to be around, I also learned many things about Korea from you, thanks! Thanks also for your help during my project. Stefan
