Dr Tom Aernouts is R&D leader of the Thin Film Photovoltaics group at imec. Over the last few years this activity has grown steadily with state-of- the-art work in organic solar cells and recently also Perovskite-based photovoltaics, next to inorganic materials like Kesterites for future replacement of the currently strongly growing CIGS thin film solar cells. The Thin-Film PV activity of imec has partnered since 2011 with other institutes in the Solliance initiative. Dr Aernouts earned his Master of Science and PhD degree in Physics (in 2006) at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium.
