Biography
"Ravi Vasudevan received his Bachelor's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Worceseter Polytechnic Institue in Massachusetts in 2008. He then came to Delft and received his Master's of Science in Sustainable Energy Technologies in 2011. During that time he worked on an MSc thesis in the Photovoltaic Materials and Devices Group on the characterization and implementation of n-type microcrystalline silicon oxide in thin film silicon solar cells. He then obtained a PhD in the group. His dissertation was titled “Interface Defects and Advanced Engineering of Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells”. He is now working as a post-doc in the group. His focus is now on converting the MSc courses offered by the PVMD group into an online Micromaster on the edX platform. "
