Tim Niewelt

Tim Niewelt studied materials science with Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany. He wrote his diploma thesis on the topic of lifetime characterization of defects in crystalline silicon in collaboration with Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE), Freiburg, Germany, and received the Diploma degree (with distinction) from Technische Universität Darmstadt in 2012. He is currently with Fraunhofer ISE, where he is working on his dissertation. His research on defects in monocrystalline silicon is focused on light-induced degradation.
