Marika Christina Edoff

Marika Edoff is a Professor in Solid State Electronics specializing in solar cells at Uppsala University. She leads the Thin Film Solar Cell group at the Ångström Solar Center and has held a 50% pro-dean appointment (2014-2018). Her research focuses on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS)-based thin film solar cells, including physical deposition methods, alkali-metal doping, and nanostructured passivation strategies.

• Education: PhD in Solid State Electronics (KTH 1997), Master in Electrical Engineering (KTH 1990)
• Professional Experience: Full Professor (2012-), Senior Lecturer (2006-2012), Spin-off company founder (Solibro AB)

Recent publications highlight her work on rear contact passivation, light management architectures, and wide-gap CIGS solar cells with efficiency breakthroughs (23.6%). Collaborations span institutions in Belgium, Portugal, France, and Slovenia.

Scientific Awards:

• Member, Swedish Research Council Board (2019-2024)
• Project Leader, EU Horizon Projects (ARCIGS-M, SITA)
• Coordinator, Ångström Thin Film Solar Center

She supervises PhD students including Dorothea Ledinek and Olivier Donzel-Gargand, and has contributed to thermally integrated PV-water splitting and industrial-scale CIGS module development.
