About Our Guest Speaker
Dr Ana Kanevce
Scientist ZSW (Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg)
Dr. Ana Kanevce is a scientist in the Analytics and Simulation Group within the Department of Photovoltaics: Materials Research (MAT) at the Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) in Stuttgart, Germany. She specializes in device physics, numerical simulations, and photovoltaic materials characterization, with a focus on improving the efficiency and stability of thin-film solar cells. Ana holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics from St. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia, and a Masters and Ph.D. in Physics from Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, USA. During her graduate studies, she joined Prof. Jim Sites' photovoltaics research group, working on characterization and modeling of thin-film solar cells to understand recombination losses and optimize device performance.
In 2007, she started a postdoctoral appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, where she later became a staff scientist. At NREL, she developed carrier dynamics models for photovoltaic devices, contributing to key advancements in CIGS, CdTe, silicon and III-V solar cells, including single junction and multiple junction devices. Her research focused on analyzing nonradiative recombination, interface properties, and defect passivation strategies to enhance solar cell efficiency. In 2019, Ana joined ZSW, drawn by its leading research in thin-film photovoltaics. Passionate about understanding what happens inside a solar cell, she continuously explores how material and process variations influence performance. Her work has resulted in high-impact publications on bandgap engineering, recombination mechanisms, and buffer layer optimization for high-efficiency solar cells.
