Dr. Amir Abdallah has academic and industrial experience in the development of solar cell efficiency and PV module technology. This includes fabrication of silicon solar cells, e.g., various process optimization and characterization to improve solar cell efficiency and PV module fabrication. At QEERI, Dr. Abdallah has contributed to the establishment and accreditation of the PV reliability lab. Further, as Lead Principle Investigator (LPI), he has secured two external funds with international collaborators - first project is to improve passivated contacts for PERC solar cell, and the second project is on technology development for PV module for desert climate.
