Aranzazu AGUIRRE
R&D Engineer
IMEC
Short Bio
Dr. Aguirre graduated in physics from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, obtained a PhD in Science (2008) at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Her research activities as PhD and postdoc always involved characterization of organic photovoltaic devices by spectroscopic techniques, EPR, and (steady state and time resolved, fast and ultrafast) optical spectroscopy. From 2012 to 2017, as R&D Manager at Abengoa Solar NT in Spain, she was responsible for the CIGS characterization lab, managing a group of people and a number of projects. In 2017 she joined the Thin Film PV group at Imec to perform activities that include module (up to 35x35cm²) laser scribing and encapsulation.

Webinars
[1] - Took place on Jun, 28th 2023
Perovskite SJ and Pero/Si Tandem technologies are attracting significant attention from both scientific and industrial societies due to rapid increases in efficiency, from approximately 3% in 2009 to over 33% today. Several efforts are made to characterize the technological bottlenecks, overcome them and push the technology to the commercial world through the PV module upscaling. This imposes a pre-industrial stage, where different equipment from coating systems such as blade coating, slot-die coating and spray coating to printing paths such as screen, inkjet and gravure printing as well as methods of vacuum deposition and laser processing are currently used to support the potential of PSCs to move towards their industrialization. VIPERLAB today introduces CEA and IMEC VIPERLAB Research Infrastructures offering State-of-the-art equipment for Fabrication, Characterization, Encapsulation, Upscaling and Testing of Perovskite SJ and Pero/Si Tandem Solar Cells
