Dr. Nicolas Barth

At Qatar Environment & Energy Research Institute (QEERI, addressing water & energy security of Qatar)–Hamad bin Khalifa University (HBKU), member of Qatar Foundation, Doha, Qatar. Main research in alternative energies: photovoltaics “PVs”. Development of models and computational tools for the analysis and design optimization of energy devices such as PV panels. This includes multi-physics modeling (thermals, mechanical, electrical …), finite element simulations, as well as fatigue and failure analyses.

Free-lancer position: modeling and simulation at Qatar Environment & Energy Research Institute (QEERI). Alternative energies (photovoltaics); and other domains to be addressed: within water & energy security in Qatar.
