Marina Freitag is a professor Chair of Energy and a Royal Society University Research Fellow (URF)[1] at Newcastle University and received her PhD from Rutgers University in 2011. Her main field of research is in indoor photovoltaics[2] based on Dye-sensitized solar cell and Energy materials. In 2015, she coined the term zombie solar cells for a special type of Grätzel cell, where the liquid electrolyte has been left to dry, resulting in an increased power conversion efficiency.[3]. The term has since then been adapted for this type of Third-generation photovoltaic cell, alongside Perovskite solar cell or Quantum dot solar cell.[4] Marina Freitag is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Physics: Energy[5].

She received the Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prizes in 2022[6] and the Göran Gustafsson Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2019[7]
