Academic interests
Silicon heterojunction solar cell, carrier selective contacts, transition metal oxides
Background
My research focus is on next generation low-cost high efficiency silicon heterojunction silicon solar cells. During my PHD, I have explored carrier selective contact (CSC) silicon heterojunction solar cells using Molybdenum oxide (MoOx) and nickel oxide (NiOx) carrier selective contacts. I have expertise in inorganic thin film growth using different physical vapour deposition methods: thermal evaporation, sputtering, and plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). I have extensive knowledge on different metal oxide growth and characterization for carrier selective contact silicon heterojunction solar cell fabrication.
Currently I am working on developing metal oxide based inorganic hole selective contacts (NiO, CuO) for perovskite solar cell.
