Dr. Andreas Pusch

Biography

Andreas Pusch is a Research Associate at the School of Photovoltaics and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales, working with Associate Professor Ned Ekins-Daukes. He obtained his Diplom in Physics from the Technical University of Darmstadt, where his thesis focused on complex networks under the supervision of Professor Markus Porto. He completed his PhD at Imperial College London in 2012, working in the group of Professor Ortwin Hess on self-induced transparency solitons in plasmonics. His research has continued at Imperial College for several years, primarily focusing on plasmonics, intermediate band solar cells, and carrier dynamics in semiconductors. Andreas's work emphasizes the fundamental understanding of advanced concepts in solar cells and power-generating optoelectronic devices, with a particular interest in developing simple, semi-analytical models that describe the general behavior of these devices while elucidating the proper material requirements. He is also engaged in creating user-friendly models for interpreting ultrafast spectroscopy measurements.
