I was a trainer on Day 2 of Online Advanced Training Program on Net Zero Climate Emissions about "Photovoltaics, current market and industry, and a technological outlook”. It was organized from 13-16 December 2021 by University of Texas, Austin (UT Austin Portugal). I delivered a talk on << Charge based Carrier Selective Passivated contacts for silicon solar cells >> and was the youngest and only female panelist in the area.
I was a speaker at Global Youth Engineering Climate Conference 2021 (#GYECC2021) organized from 7-8 September 2021 by National Grid as a principal partner for #COP26. I engaged in discussions regarding Workstream 2 - Access to energy for zero carbon communities and how we can decarbonise our communities.
I was selected as a Female Science Talent'21 to discuss gender equality in science, business and society to become better equipped to 'break through the glass ceiling' in leadership. The Female Science Talents Gathering offers you discussion formats that allow insightful connections with outstanding female leaders and scientists.
I was part of panel discussion at my alma mater Guru Nanak Dev University's Electronics Technology Department to shed some light of career choices beyond bachelors. It was a humbling experience as I was the youngest panelist there.
Our work on enhancing carrier selectively using a low-cost, organic PEDOT:PSS capping layer in passivated contacts won Best Paper Award in Silicon PV 2020 after a double blind peer review process amongst 156+ entries across world. It was also covered as the highlights in the conference. Here is the link to the talk - https://cms2020.siliconpv.com/video/list
I was featured as one of the 30 people sponsored by BP to attend 2019 One Young World Summit in London. The scholars are young leaders who are focused on advancing the energy transition, creating low carbon businesses, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. I took this opportunity to highlight my startup -Solisfix aimed to providing timely and low-cost maintenance solutions for solar equipment in India.
Our work on developing ultrathin LPCVD SiNx layers in passivated contacts won the Best Poster Award at the 46th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialist Conference held at Chicago, Illinois, US from 16-21 June, 2019. This was the first work in the area uncovering the role of positive fixed charges at the interface of SiNx layers in improving the overall efficiency of solar cells.
