Prof. Evelyne Knapp – ZHAW
Dr. Matthias Diethelm – Fluxim, Host & Presenter
📅 Tuesday, September 22, 2026
🕒 10:00-11:00 CEST
Webinar overview
For our 21st webinar, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Evelyne Knapp from the ZHAW School of Engineering. Her research focuses on the characterization and simulation of organic and perovskite semiconductor devices, with particular emphasis on device physics, parameter extraction, and machine-learning-assisted analysis.
Evelyne will be presenting:
Efficient Multi-Objective Parameter Extraction in Perovskite Solar Cells
Understanding the physical parameters that govern perovskite solar-cell performance is essential for device optimization, yet many of these parameters are difficult to determine directly from experiments.
In this talk, Evelyne will present a data-efficient, multi-objective approach to parameter extraction in perovskite solar cells. Drawing on device simulation and data-driven methods, she will show how advanced parameter-extraction techniques can accelerate device characterization and provide insight into the physical parameters governing solar-cell performance.
The webinar will be hosted by Dr. Matthias Diethelm
Who should attend?
This webinar is relevant for researchers and engineers working on:
Perovskite solar cells
Device simulation
