Research Interests:  
  organic and hybrid (organic-inorganic) solar cells
  electrical and optoelectronic characterization of thin-film solar cells as e.g.
  • Electroluminescence spectroscopy
  • Transient photovoltage and photocurrent measurements
  • detailed analysis of current/voltage curves, interpretation of ideality factors
  • capacitance measurements
  drift-diffusion simulations of thin-film solar cells
  • steady state
  • frequency dependent simulations to better interpret capacitance measurements
