Arnulf Jager-Waldau
Country: Italy
Year Started Research: 1987
Title of Research: Preparation and Solar Cell Performance of n-ZnO/p-
WSe2 Heterojunctions
University: Universität Konstanz
Still Active in Research: Yes

Dr. Arnulf Jäger–Waldau is a Scientific Officer and Senior Scientist at the European Commission’s Joint Research
Centre since 2001. His current research portfolio ranges from the assessment of renewable energy technologies,
the effectiveness of deployment policies and how to integrate them into energy infrastructures to the role of
renewable and solar energy for the energy transition and climate change mitigation. Since 1987 he works in the
field of material research for solar cells and holds patents on semiconductor material deposition for thin film solar
cells and solar module design. His material research work spans from the investigation of fundamental material
properties of transition metal dichalcogenides for solar cell applications to the development of novel deposition
methods for compound this film solar cells. He has more than 250 publications in peer reviewed journals and
conference proceedings ranging from materials research for PV and solar cell development to market studies and
policy evaluations for Renewable Energies. He is the author of the European Commission’s annual “Photovoltaic
Status Report”, which is published annually since 2002. From 2011 to 2014 he was the Technical Chairman of the
European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EUPVSEC) and served as European Co-Chair of the 6th World
Conference on Photovoltaic Power Conversion in Kyoto, November 2014 as well as Conference Chairperson of the
E-MRS Spring Meetings in 2009 and 2013. Dr. Jäger-Waldau was a Lead Author for Solar Energy of the Special
Report of the IPCC on Renewable Energy and Climate Change Mitigation. He served as a reviewer of the Global
Energy Assessment Report (GEA) published in 2012 and as a reviewer of various IPCC Assessment and Special
Reports. He is a reviewer of the annual Renewable Energy Market Report of the International Energy Agency as
well as the Renewable Global Status Report published by REN21.
