Biography
I studied Physics between 1990 and 1996 at the Universities of Ulm (Germany) and Waikato (New Zealand). While specializing mostly on Theoretical Physics and Quantum Theory during my studies, I turned towards Experimental Physics for a graduate work on gas-phase epitaxy of silicon. After that, I pursued a PhD program at ETH Zürich (Switzerland), studying Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells. As PostDoc, I went to EMPA (Switzerland) to work on plasma processes for hard coatings of TiN and to the Jülich Research Centre in Germany to study light scattering ZnO front contacts for solar cells. Since 2005 I lead a research group within the PV-Lab in Neuchatel. Currently I work on passivating contacts for crystalline silicon solar cells using thin silicon films as contact layers.
Between 2013 and 2015 I was delegate of the Council of Teaching Personnel (CCE) and in 2015 I was appointed to Maitre d'Enseignement et Recherche (Senior Lecturer and Scientist). Currently I am a member of the Council of the Engineering Faculty (CF-STI) where I represent EPFL's teaching staff.
