About
Bram Hoex is a leading researcher at the intersection of photovoltaics, surface passivation, and advanced semiconductor device physics. His most influential work has fundamentally advanced the understanding and application of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) for surface passivation of silicon solar cells, a breakthrough that has been widely adopted in the industry to boost cell efficiency. With over 20,000 citations, his contributions have shaped modern high-efficiency solar cell design, particularly through the development of field-effect passivation and the characterization of interface defects. Hoex is also known for his pioneering work in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for photovoltaics, enabling precise control of thin films. His recent research extends into intelligent science laboratories, advocating for the integration of cognitive and embodied AI to accelerate scientific discovery, as highlighted in his 2025 position paper. A highly cited and influential figure, Hoex continues to push the boundaries of both renewable energy technology and automated research systems.
