Student Keynote Speakers


Gudrun Feix

Technische Universität Berlin

Advanced Packaging for Wide Band Gap Pwer Semiconductors

Gudrun Feix received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in electrical engineering from the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Technical University Berlin in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Since then, she has been working at TU Berlin/Fraunhofer IZM in power electronics. Her main research focus is on power electronics packaging, beginning from wire bonded modules to double sided cooling of power electronics right up to advanced packaging technologies like embedded power electronics for fast switching semiconductors.




Felix Predan

Fraunhofer ISE

Fabrication of Highly Efficient Four-Junction Solar Cells by Surface-Activated Wafer-Bonding

After finishing high-school in 2008, Felix Predan studied Micro System Engineering at the Albrecht-Ludwigs University of Freiburg, obtaining a Master of Science degree in 2014. Beside his studies, Felix Predan worked since 2011 at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in different fields of solar cell research like laser doping for industrial solar cells based on silicon as well as on the technology for micro-structuring of multi-junction solar cells. In the year 2014, Felix Predan did his master thesis in the development of a surface-activated wafer bonding (SAB) process for antimonides. Since 2015, Felix Predan makes a Ph.D., supported by a scholarship from the German Federal Environmental Foundation, DBU. The aim of his research is the development of a novel four-junction solar cell based on GaSb utilizing the SAB approach. This cell has prospects to reach highest conversion efficiencies > 50 % and could be applied in the concentrating photovoltaics or in space.
