Michaël Daenen
Michaël Daenen received his master degree in Applied Physics at the Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e, Eindhoven, the Netherlands) in 2004. In 2008 he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Material Physics at Hasselt University (Hasselt, Belgium) on the topic of nano crystalline diamond synthesis and characterisation. He is working as a professor since 2014 and currently he is Associate Professor of Engineering Technology at Hasselt University. Michaël’s research group, Energy Systems Engineering (ESE) at imo-imomec, focusses on the reliability of PV modules and PV systems. He was involved in two European projects, PV Op Maat (Interreg) and SolSthore (EFRO–SALK) and is currently working on the project Rolling Solar (Interreg) and Belgian federal project BREGILAB (Transitiefonds). The imo-imomec ESE group is affiliated to imec (Leuven, Belgium) and EnergyVille (Genk, Belgium).
