ZUGASTI Eugenia

She has more than 10 years on R&D projects in the area of photovoltaic solar energy, in particular, mainly related to solar cell processing and characterization of photovoltaic solar cells.
She received her M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering in 2004 from the Public University of Navarre in Pamplona (Spain) and her Diploma of Advance Studies in Industrial Engineering (DEA) from the University of La Rioja in Logroño (Spain) in 2011. In 2014, she finished her M.Sc. in Photovoltaics from University of Freiburg (Germany). During the years in CENER, she has actively participated in the start-up and development of the Production Processes Solar Cells Laboratory of CENER. Her expertise is focused on the optimization of the production processes of solar cells made from crystalline silicon wafers: diffusion, plasma techniques and metallization. He has performed several consultancy services regarding market and technological aspects along the PV value chain. Furthermore, she has achieved a wide knowledge in the study and characterization of morphological and opto-electrical properties of emerging materials to be applied in novel solar cells.
She has participated in several R&D projects financed by Spanish and European entities and has several scientific contributions to international conferences.
