I am a DECRA fellow in the School of Photovoltaics and Renewable Energy Engineering, working on multi-junction (MJ) solar cells for biomedical applications and high efficiency III-V MJ concentrator solar cells (see Research Activities).

I obtained my Diplom in Physics from the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Germany and worked towards my PhD at the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hameln (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany, under supervision of Professor Niels Peter Harder, Professor Robby Peibst and Professor Tobias Wietler. My thesis research focussed on ion implanted, large area back-contact Si solar cells and on highly carrier selective poly-Si contacts for c-Si solar cells.

After receiving my PhD in electrical engineering from the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany I moved to Sydney, Australia to work with Professor Alison Lennon at ¹ú²ú¾«Æ· on inkjet and laser patterning processes for plated contacts for large area back-contacted Si solar cells and together with Professor Bram Hoex, on doped poly-Si passivating contacts. In 2018 I started my DFG (German Research Foundation) Research Fellowship at ¹ú²ú¾«Æ· on inkjet printed doping of poly-Si contacts and in 2020 I joined the research Groups of A/Prof. Nicholas Ekins-Daukes and Dr. Stephen Bremner, where I worked on fabrication processes for III-V and III-V on Si solar cells.
