Title:
Microstructure and Processing Design for Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract:
The possibility for a program of computational modeling, processing and characterization will be explored to improve the property of the multi-crystalline cast silicon materials for photo-voltaics applications. A direct linkage between the evolution of the microstructure and the process parameters is not presently available in the silicon technology and will be explored. The modeling methodologies and the consequent computer programs will provide manufacturers an essential tool to optimize the process parameters to produce a more cost efficient final product during casting of Si for solar cell applications.
Bio:
Jason Allen is a first year Ph.D. student in the School of Materials Science and Engineering. He received a B.S. degree in physics from Southern Polytechnic State University in 2002 and a B.S. degree in materials science and engineering from Georgia Tech in 2013. Currently, Jason is working under the advisory of Dr. Hamid Garmestani and is using data science and computational approaches to identify process-structure linkages for silicon in use in photovoltaic applications.
