Dr Nino BOROJEVIC

Employment experience:

2020 – 2022: Research Fellow (UNSW)

2016 – 2023: Engineer, Solar Industrial Research Facility (UNSW)

2015 – 2016: Research Associate (UNSW)

2006 – 2015: Research Assistant (UNSW)

Education:

2006 – 2015: Doctor of Philosophy in Photovoltaic Engineering (UNSW)

2001 – 2005: Bachelor of Photovoltaics Engineering (UNSW)

Research interests:

• Novel passivation techniques for surfaces and contacts 

• Application of passivated contacts for industrial high efficiency solar cells   

​

Why is your research important? 

The introduction of passivated contacts in solar cell designs has raised the bar for cell efficiencies in the recent years, demonstrating their potential to become a game changer for the PV industry. To fulfill this, a commercially viable integration of passivated contacts into high volume solar cell manufacturing is required which forms the core purpose of this research. The overall result should provide a technological pathway for PV manufactures to move on from the current low efficiency cell designs to more state-of-the-art concepts demonstrated recently.

What do you like about research? 

I have an opportunity to apply my passion, knowledge, and creativity to explore the unknown, not to mention that it is contributing to a wider goal of helping humanity.

What do you like to do when you are not saving the world?

I love to enjoy all that this same world has to offer.
