Jennifer is a Staff Researcher at Nanofabrication for Optoelectronic Applications group, where her research involves topics such as fundamental characterization of charge carrier dynamics in complex semiconductors for energy applications and development of passivation/light management schemes for novel solar cells’ architectures.

Jennifer holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Aveiro. She dedicated her research to understanding the impact of absorbers’ electronic structure on chalcogenide (ultra)thin-film solar cells’ performance. Jennifer trusts that a solid fundamental knowledge of materials’ properties is critical for continuously fostering innovative materials through the rational use of natural resources to meet the urge for sustainable energy solutions, suiting the circular economy principle.
