WP1b PhD on (tandem) perovskite photovoltaics for building-integrated PV.
Kousumi Mukherjee is a PhD candidate in TU/e's Plasma & Materials Processing group. She works on atomic layer deposition of nickel oxide hole transport layers and on reducing voltage losses in inverted metal halide perovskite solar cells, in collaboration with TNO within Solliance.
About me
I am from Kolkata, situated in the Eastern Indian. I have been living in the Netherlands for the past two years. I like cycling and discovering new places here whenever it is sunny. In my free time, I like reading fiction and cooking food of different cuisines.
Personal Motivation
I fell in love with Solar cells during an internship in my bachelors study. The more I studied, the more I understood its importance in our current situation. I hope that my work within the NEON framework will contribute to this field. Finally, I hope that one day the installation price and the cost of the solar cell become cheap enough for everyone to use it and this is what motivates me to work hard in this field.
