Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTodd Karin is a technology leader and physicist with 10+ years of experience translating advanced optics and semiconductor science into practical reliability solutions for the solar industry. As VP of Technology at Kiwa PVEL he drives product qualification programs and $10M+ projects assessing PV module bankability, while founding novel test fixtures and long-term degradation studies. His background spans quantum optical microscopy, fiber Bragg-grating monitoring for grid assets, and power-electronics testbeds—skills he combines to innovate diagnostics, high-throughput data analysis, and root-cause methods for field failures. A fast executor and NSF fellowship recipient with a Ph.D. in Physics, he is as comfortable developing instrument firmware and analysis libraries as he is leading cross-disciplinary research programs.
