[8] She demonstrated that their high efficiency in solar cells was due to long charge-carrier diffusion lengths and non-Langevin recombination.

[13] She works on Biomimetics light harvesting structures made of porphyrin nanorings[14][15] to explore delocalised excited states.

Her short citation reads:Laura Herz is distinguished for her study of light-harvesting and energy-conversion pathways in emerging semiconductors.

Her research has pushed boundaries across interdisciplinary themes including light-matter interactions, charge-carrier dynamics, molecular self-assembly, biomimetic systems and nanoscience.

Her work has been central to guiding materials synthesis, chemical engineering and advancing technology for renewable energy conversion.Her awards and honours include:
