Why is your research important?

Artificial intelligence can learn patterns and correlations from data which could be difficult and expensive otherwise. I use machine learning algorithms to make photovoltaic (PV) technology even more efficient and cheaper. My research fastens the transition to PV-generated electricity around the world.

Why do you like research?

It is always exciting working on problems which have not been solved by anyone before.

What do you like to do when you are not saving the world? I like running, swimming, cooking and the most importantly, singing in the shower!
