I then moved to Arizona to pursue Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. The importance of renewable energy to combat climate change was one of the main reasons that I was drawn to research in the field of photovoltaics. Currently my research is focused on in-situ characterization of thin-film CdTe solar cell processing to understand how it works and the effect it has on performance of the cell. Outside of the lab, I love reading books, playing boardgames and cooking.<\/p><\/div><ul class=\"person-social-medias\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/niranjana-mohan-kumar-b37ba0102\/\" aria-label=\"Go to user social media accouunt: linkedin\" data-ga-event=\"link\" data-ga-action=\"click\" data-ga-name=\"onclick\" data-ga-type=\"external link\" data-ga-region=\"main content\" data-ga-section=\"Dr. Niranjana Mohan Kumar\" data-ga=\"linkedin\"><i class=\"fa-classic fa-brands fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":352,"featured_media":0,"parent":14,"menu_order":19,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2271","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/352"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2271\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.engineering.asu.edu\/defectlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
