Jacob Cordell uses techno-economic analysis to investigate photovoltaic (PV) system and critical materials manufacturing and supply chains. He builds bottom-up cost models to understand the financial and performance trade-offs of device design/processing of commercial and pre-commercial technologies including utility PV, space-based PV, utility batteries, and magnets for energy conversion. Bottom-up cost models involve regular data collection from industry partners including materials producers, equipment manufacturers, technology manufacturers and end-users of those technologies. Cordell’s background in materials science helps him understand supply chain and manufacturing questions from an engineering perspective.
