Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Phillip Hamer. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Phillip Hamer is a Research Fellow in the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales, completing his PhD in photovoltaics in 2015. He has spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher, serving as a Junior Research Fellow in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. Hamer has published over 40 research papers and is a co-inventor on five patents. His notable research studies focus on the introduction and manipulation of hydrogen to passivate defects in silicon solar cells. His current research interests examine the modeling of hydrogen transport in silicon solar cell structures, specifically the parameters of hydrogen diffusion and interaction with common impurities. Hamer's fundamental studies aim to link his research projects with broader attempts to mitigate light-induced degradation and contact resistance issues in multicrystalline solar cells, as well as evaluating the effects of hydrogenation in solar cell geometries based on amorphous silicon metal oxide passivation schemes.
