Researcher Exchanges: Masters projects and international internships
Our project teams are open to hosting international researchers completing Masters or PhD postgraduate studies in:
- Perovskite solar cells and materials;
- Indoor and outdoor photovoltaic device measurement and assessment;
- Solar materials for catalysis and renewable energy fuels.
Interested materials scientists and engineers, physical chemists, physicists, chemists and mechanical/electrical or mechatronic engineers are encouraged to contact.
Researcher Exchange Projects (6-12 months) are available in the following areas:
| Project Description | Contact/Supervisor |
| Interlayers for silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells ALD or Sputter deposit charge transport layers for the interlayers bridging silicon and perovskite PV devices. Perovskite on silicon tandem solar cells We are developing a process for conformal coating on silicon using our patented perovskite technology. |
Jacob Wang Jacob.Wang@csiro.au Terry Yang Terry.Yang@csiro.au |
| Optimisation of Perovskite materials using laser techniques Optimising Laser removal of perovskite solar materials to enable robust sealing of devices and allow for series connections to be made for mini module applications |
Kenrick Anderson Kenrick.Anderson@csiro.au |
| Automation of encapsulation of Perovskite PV modules for outdoor environmental testing Refinement and reproducibility of the robotic deposition process for polymer encapsulation sealant dispensing, curing and handling of pre-commercial scale perovskite PV interconnected cells and modules. |
Gregory Wilson Gregory.Wilson@csiro.au |
| Solar PV performance measurement This research area develops new methods of measurement and analysis of the output of solar photovoltaic cells and modules. Assist researchers with solar cell/module measurements in both the lab and the field; analyse data; generate computational models of performance. |

| Solar thermal electrical and electronic component design and modelling CSIRO has developed a suite of electronic components for the control of heliostats used in solar thermal power stations. This project will simulate the interaction between distributed electrical storage components resulting in design decisions for PCB level components and hardware control strategies. |
Michael Rae Michael.Rae@csiro.au Mike Collins Mike.Collins@csiro.au |
| Sustainable Hydrogen Production This strategic project is providing innovative reaction pathways to sustainable and pure hydrogen. This technology involving a doubly catalytic process allows water-splitting at low temperatures and will support decarbonisation of Australian Industry and transition towards net zero. |
