السيرة الذاتية
Dr. Kivambe is a Scientist at Qatar Environment & Energy Research Institute (QEERI), where he works on performance and reliability of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. He has over 15 years’ research experience in PV value chain, from crystalline silicon materials to solar cells and modules, including indoor and outdoor testing. He received his M.Sc. in Condensed Matter physics and Biophysics in 2008, and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 2012 from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in Norway. Before joining QEERI, Dr. Kivambe worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Photovoltaic Research Laboratory, focusing on performance improvement of low-cost silicon for solar cell applications.
