Yiyi Yan

Yiyi Yan was born in …, China, in …, and received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in … from …. and Université Catholique de Louvain in … and 2019?, respectively. She is currently persuing a PhD deggree at the electrical engineering department of UCLouvain.

Her research focuses on investigating various dielectric on silicon material stacks to achieve good quality interface passivation for (i) solar cell applications and for (ii) RF appplicatons.

Her work includes the characterization of carrier lifetimes and surface recombination velocities extracted from photoconductance measurement methods.
