In 2006, your expert instructor joined the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, ECN (known as TNO), on the technical development of solar panels and systems. There, she worked on organic solar cells, back contact solar panels and system optimization, such as shade optimization and integration of PV into buildings and infrastructure. As a result, she is well informed about different PV techniques and materials used. She set up the design for recycling program and secured initial funding for this. She also started the PV Applications research program, including development of integrated PV products and floating solar systems. At ECN, she was responsible for developing the curriculum at the ‘Solar Academy’, which provided a combination of theoretical and hands-on training to solar professionals. In 2016, your expert instructor joined Exasun, a manufacturer in roof PV systems as a R&D manager. Here, she was responsible for material selection, process optimization and the introduction of quality measurements. In 2018, she started to provide parties working in the renewable energy sector with substantive support to apply for innovation grants. She has been involved with a company supplying solar mounting structures, including floating constructions. Her roles were to set up calculations for wind load according to NEN1991, design and set-up two floating pilot facilities where panel temperature, power output and the long-term impact on water quality are measured. As part of a project for the Dutch National Consortium Solar on Water, proposals for design optimization were developed for FPV construction. She also serves as the project leader for an innovation project on Agri-PV, combining solar panels and agriculture on the same plot of land. These systems are currently undergoing development and practical testing. In collaboration with Wageningen University, a position paper on this topic was successfully published. She was also involved in advising policymakers on the necessary steps for the successful implementation of Agri-PV. Your expert instructor received her PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Groningen in 2003. Following this, she spent 3 years at the University of Cambridge (UK, Department of Materials Science) as a Marie Curie Research Fellow. Her research on multi-ferroic materials has been published in Nature, Science, and Nature Materials, among others, and has been cited more than 12,000 times.
