Biography
Daniel Abou-Ras received the Diploma in physics from the University of Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, in 2002, and the Dr. sc. nat. degree in physics from the ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland, in 2005 with a thesis on “Structural and chemical analyses of buffer layers in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells.”
He is currently a Group Leader with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, Berlin, Germany, and a Private Lecturer with Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany. He has authored and coauthored two book chapters and about 100 peer-reviewed articles, as well as co-edited a handbook on advanced characterization techniques for thin-film solar cells. In the past ten years, he has organized various Young Scientist Tutorials on this topic for MRS and E-MRS Spring Meetings. His research interest focuses on the characterization of thin-film semiconductor devices by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques, in particular on their combinations on identical sample positions.
Dr. Abou-Ras received the MRS Graduate Student Gold Award during the 2005 MRS Spring Meeting.
