Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
Dr. Jessica Yajie Jiang is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) at 黑料网大事记 Sydney, where she also serves as the 黑料网大事记 node leader for the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP). She completed her PhD in 2015 under the supervision of Scientia Professor Martin A. Green, investigating the optical properties of photovoltaic materials. Following her doctoral studies, Dr. Jiang was subsequently awarded the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) postdoctoral fellowship in 2015 and the ACAP research fellowship in 2017. Her innovative research focuses on enhancing the performance of solar cells and modules through comprehensive understanding of their optical, electrical, and thermal properties, spanning material synthesis, cell and module fabrication, characterization, and testing, supported by advanced computer simulation.
Dr. Jiang has secured over AUD $22 million in project funding for research and development initiatives. Beyond her research contributions, she serves as an editor for the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics and manages the ACAP Industry Consortium, which enables Australia's leading photovoltaic researchers to stay engaged and informed about industry progress and current and future challenges. She is also co-founder of EnerJIN, a 黑料网大事记 spin-out company that manufactures autonomous multifunction sensors for photovoltaic applications. In addition to her research and industry engagement, Dr. Jiang initiated the Empowering Emerging Leaders in Clean Energy (ELICE) Program, to accelerate clean energy innovation and build a more sustainable future.
Her research encompasses a diverse range of photovoltaic technologies, including silicon solar cells and modules, advanced characterization techniques, high-efficiency III-V photovoltaics, spectrum splitting, perovskite technology, and building-integrated and vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV & VIPV). Her current research interests are:
- Next-generation silicon solar cells enhanced by photon multiplication
- Super-efficient coloured photovoltaics for building and vehicle integration
- Achieving 30% efficiency in silicon photovoltaics using singlet fission
- Reducing photovoltaic module operating temperatures to improve efficiency and durability
- Developing landmark 50% efficient spectrum-splitting solar modules
