Join us in the IEEE-PVSC Women in Photovoltaics (WiPV)
Luncheon on Thursday June 12th, from 12:00 pm to 1:30
pm in MR 501.
Invited speaker: Dr. Becca Jones-Albertus.
Dr.
Becca
Jones-Albertus
is the Program Manager for
Photovoltaics Research and
Development in the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Solar
Energy Technologies Office.
Her team manages a multi-year
portfolio of nearly $200 million
in funding to advance solar
cell efficiency and reliability
and reduce cost, toward and
beyond the goals of the SunShot
Initiative.
Dr. Jones-Albertus has over a decade of experience working
with solar cell materials and devices, from fundamental
research and development to manufacturing. She began her
research career looking at the strain response of amorphous
silicon solar cells and low pressure deposition of organic solar
cells. Her graduate research focused on electrical and optical
characterization of group III-nitride alloys for photovoltaic
and photoelectrochemical cells, including the discovery of
p-type doping in InN. More recently, Dr. Jones-Albertus was
the Characterization and Design Manager at Solar Junction,
where she led work contributing to the development of the
company’s breakthrough dilute nitride solar cells, their two-
time world record triple junction solar cells and then the
successful transfer of that technology to a high volume
manufacturing toolset. She has 34 technical publications and
three patents.
Dr. Jones-Albertus graduated magna cum laude from
Princeton University with a B.S. in electrical engineering,
and also holds a M.S. and Ph.D. in materials science and
engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Jones-Albertus will share her research and experience in
the field of photovoltaics through a 45 minute presentation
followed by a Q&A session. The event is open and free of cost
to all PVSC attendees. Lunch will be provided.
