Dominik Lausch

Dominik Lausch received the diploma degree in physics from the University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany, in 2009. During his studies, he was with the company Q-Cells SE on various subjects, including his diploma thesis about the pre-breakdown luminescence of silicon solar cells. In 2012, he received the Ph.D. degree in natural science from the University of Halle, Halle, Germany, in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP, Halle, and Q-Cells SE, Thalheim, Germany. His dissertation explored the subject of the “ Influence of recombination active defects on the electrical properties of recombination active defects in silicon solar cells,” which received the PVSEC Student Award in 2012. He is now a postdoctoral researcher with the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP, where he is currently dealing with plasma texturing and hydrogen passivation topics.
