Mission
Team Leader on PV Modules and Reliability at EPFL PV-LabBiography
Dr. Antonin Faes is leading the PV Module and Reliability activity at EPFL PV-Lab and Solar Mobility Area Manager at CSEM Sustainable Energy Center. He graduated as materials science engineer at EPFL in Lausanne and got his PhD in 2010 on Solix Oxide Fuel cells. From 2012, he developed the advanced Smart-Wire Connection Technology (SWCT®) with Meyer Burger. He is Work Package leader in HighLite EU project about monitoring advanced solar module technologies including VIPV. He is author and co-author of more than 40 peer reviewed papers cited about 3000 times, few patents, and book chapters.Awards
