I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology with a broad interest in silicon photovoltaics. After having worked on thin film silicon photovoltaics, and amorphous silicon in particular, I am currently working on the fabrication and analysis of passivating contacts for crystalline silicon solar cells with a primary interest in atomic layer deposition.

– Novel non-silicon based passivating contact materials

  During the passivating contact workshop in Eindhoven earlier this year more than 80 people enjoyed several in-depth presentations and discussions on this hot topic in crystalline silicon PV research. Since the PV conference low season / summer break has started now, this is a great time to look back at the workshop! After last … Read more

Advancing PV: from passivation to contacts
– A passivating contact workshop

On 31 January 2018 more than 80 people from 11 different countries attended the event Advancing PV: from passivation to contacts – A passivating contact workshop. The interesting presentations of the invited speakers together with the extensive discussion with the audience after each talk gave us a lot of food for thought, making this day a … Read more
