Klaus Lips

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Lips (* 1962 in Carlsdorf ) is Professor of Physics at the Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy .

Life

Klaus Lips was born in Northern Hesse. From 1968 to 1972 he attended the Heiligenstock School in Hofheim am Taunus . After a short stay in the USA, where he attended the Grammar School in Naperville in 1972, he was at the German International School The Hague from 1973 to 1981 . After graduating from high school, he studied physics at the University of Leiden in 1981/82 and then in Marburg until his diploma . He received his doctorate in Marburg in 1994 with the subject of spin dependence of transport and recombination in films and solar cells made of amorphous silicon . He then worked as a Post Doc at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the USA until 1996 . In 1996 he became a research associate at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut (today Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin ) and built a laboratory for electron spin resonance and photoluminescence . 2005 to 2006 was acting head of the department for silicon photovoltaics, then deputy director of the Institute for silicon photovoltaics at the Helmholtz Center. In December 2012 he became a professor in the physics department at the Free University of Berlin .

Klaus Lips is married and has four children.

Since 2008 Klaus Lips has been the spokesman for the interdisciplinary BMBF network "EPR-Solar". This aims to measure defect states and charge carrier dynamics in thin-film silicon with the help of electron spin resonance methods. It should u. a. the Staebler-Wronski effect , which causes the aging of thin-film solar cells made of amorphous silicon.
