His research group focusses on developing and applying nanoscale thin films in a wide range of renewable energy devices to improve their performance, solar cell/module reliability, as well as financial and performance modelling of gigascale solar farms. He is best known for his groundbreaking work on aluminium oxide for crystalline silicon surface passivation which is now the de facto standard for industrial PERC and TOPCon solar cells. He also pioneered the application of atomic layer deposition for silicon wafer solar cell manufacturing. During his career, he has raised over A$ 80 million in competitive research funding of which A$ 23 million as Lead Investigator. He has published over 250 journal and conference papers and he has an h-index of 42. In 2016 he was awarded the mid-career “IEEE PVSC Young Professional Award” for his significant contributions and his potential as a future leader in the field of photovoltaics and in 2018 he was selected as one of the "Solar 40 under 40" by Renewable Energy World.
