Currently finishing a Ph.d on the development of organic solar cells for larger scale manufacturing techniques, with a prime emphasis on the use of cheaper materials and production methods for the manufacture of devices including not only the solar cells, but also testing equiptment, manufacturing tools and similar.

During the last three years of the Ph.D, a visist to the University of Newcastle Australia with the group of Professor Paul Dastoor, has been completed with a main focus on morphology and production methods, and with two trips to Berkeley and Argonne labs respectively to investigate the nanoscale structure of organic solar cells manufactured from water based emulsions of polymers.

Furthermore, tests of roll coating equipment made for speeding up the process of optimization and transfer of processes from lab scale to prodcution scale has been a focussing topic involving the manufacture of a mini roll coater for lab scale use, which has overtaken the roll as the main production method for lab scale cells, and further made it into a commercial product.

A solar cell tester based on work completed at the solar cell lab at MIT was further developed into a easily manufactureable PCB with high resolution measurement and stand alone capabilities.
