Her expertise in PV started in 2003 working with the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in close contact with technical analysis and the normative context of PV module qualification. She has a master’s degree in electric engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy, and doctorate in energy risk and safety from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.","specialties":["Energy Integration","Installation","PV Reliability","Diffraction","System Performance","Materials Characterization","Monitoring"],"technologies":["Solar"]},{"uuid":"a0126d55-7cf8-4012-9543-979ac85d09c0","first_name":"Charles T.","last_name":"Black","avatar":"https://www.labpartnering.org/files/experts/a0126d55-7cf8-4012-9543-979ac85d09c0","links":{"self":"https://developer.nrel.gov/api/lps/v1/experts/a0126d55-7cf8-4012-9543-979ac85d09c0"},"lab":"Brookhaven National Laboratory","bio":"His research program explores the use of nanostructured material architectures for solar energy conversion. From 1996 to 2006, he was a research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York investigating using polymer self-assembly for fabrication of high-performance semiconductor electronics. During his career, he has also performed experimental research in low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, single-electron tunneling devices, superconductivity in metal nanoparticles, nanocrystal-based electronic devices, and ferroelectric non-volatile memories. He earned his doctorate in physics from Harvard University and bachelor’s in physics and mathematics from Vanderbilt University. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the Board of Directors of the Materials Research Society, and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.","specialties":["Thin Films","Nanomaterials","Membranes","Materials Characterization","Coating Materials","Capacitors","Semiconductors/PV","Superconductors"],"technologies":["Solar"],"covid-19":["Sensors"]},{"uuid":"132a7d28-5d48-4f15-9ac0-69d8a133129e","first_name":"Eric","last_name":"Dooryhee","avatar":"https://www.labpartnering.org/files/experts/132a7d28-5d48-4f15-9ac0-69d8a133129e","links":{"self":"https://developer.nrel.gov/api/lps/v1/experts/132a7d28-5d48-4f15-9ac0-69d8a133129e"},"lab":"Brookhaven National Laboratory","bio":"He has more than 25 years of experience in X-ray powder diffraction.
