Predicting Perovskite Thin-Film Photovoltaic Performance from Photoluminescence Videos

Predicting Perovskite Thin-Film Photovoltaic Performance from Photoluminescence Videos

Photovoltaics are a key technology to decarbonize the generation of energy. While perovskite thin-films are a promising option to build powerful next generation photovoltaics demonstrating high power conversion efficiencies, their manufacturing process remains unstable. We build a model that directly predicts the solar cell performance based on a video capturing the perovskite layer formation prior to finalizing the solar cell. This helps to uncover process insights that lead to a better scalable and more reliable production and facilitates experimentation, which may lead to overcoming the current commercialization hurdles faster.

Extracting clinically relevant parameters from real-time MRI images of fontan hearts

Obtaining accurate segmentations of the heart in real-time MRI allows a more realistic view on clinically relevant parameters, such as the stroke volume. Cardiac real-time MRI can assess diastolic filling under breath maneuvers or other cardiac load situations which potentially enhances diagnostics other than CINE breath hold cardiac MRI. Real-time MRI allows rapid acquisitions during […]
