ME516: THIN-FILM PV TECHNOLOGY (Spring 2022)
The course dealt with providing a comprehensive conceptual theory, simulation, and hands-on experience to understanding the material systems, semiconductor physics, and the fabrication and testing of solar cells. In the course, I graded homework, gave three guest lectures, and led 2 lab projects.
- Three guest lectures (one hour long for each) covered characterization techniques, numerical modeling, and introduction to laboratories/perovskite photovoltaic device fabrication and testing.
- Lab project consisted of two sessions: 1) fabrication of MAPbI3-based perovskite films and solar cells, and 2) film & device characterizations.
ME221: STRUC/PROP OF SOLIDS (Fall 2021)
The course dealt with inculcating a preliminary understanding of the structure-property relationships in crystalline and amorphous solids through conceptualization and hands-on training. My role was to help create assignments/exams and grade them.
