Faglige interesser:

Anne Gerds faglige interesser er innen feltet miljøfysikk, med fokus på fornybar energi og solenergi-anvendelser. Hun jobber med Energimaterialer og Energisystemer ved Institutt for Ingeniørvitenskap i Grimstad. Hun har erfaring med modellering, optimalisering, visualisering og ytelsesanalyse av ulike typer solenergi-systemer, fra flat-plate moduler (lav-temperatur) til konsentrerende systemer (høy-temperatur). Hun har jobbet med spektrofotometri for analyse av optiske filtre og speil, instrumentering for karakterisering av solinnstråling, utendørstesting av solcellemoduler, og bygningsintegrasjon av solceller (BIPV).

Undervisningsfag og veiledning:

Anne Gerd underviser om solcelleteknologi og veileder studenter på Bachelor, Master og PhD nivå. Oppgavene er vanligvis utført i samarbeid med bedrifter eller tilknyttet pågående forskningsprosjekter.
