Marta Llusca did her Ph.D. at the Solar Energy Group of the University of Barcelona, Spain. She is a Physics graduate and did her Master’s degree in Physical Engineering. During her master project and Ph.D. thesis she worked on the improvement of thin film silicon solar cells by optimizing the transparent conducting contacts. She used light trapping strategies based on creating periodic or random textures at the front contacts and at the substrates and she also used spectral conversion strategies. She has experience in growth and characterization of thin films and photovoltaic solar cells. In particular, transparent conducting oxides, light conversion, and light trapping are her main research topics.

In particular, transparent conducting oxides, light conversion, and light trapping are her main research topics.
Since March 2016 she is a Research Associate at the Thin Film Coatings group in the Future Industries Institute. She is working in Concentrator Photovoltaics Technology investigating protective layers for first surface mirrors and developing a transmission concentrator photovoltaics prototype based on a Fresnel lens and a triple junction solar cell.
