On a typical day, I try to get into the office early, grab a coffee and double check what I’ve planned in the lab for the day. Then it is off to the labs to get any experiments on the go. For an entire solar cell it usually takes two or three days due to time or getting on the equipment I need, so I have a rolling schedule where I’m making a few devices at different stages during each day. I have to be super organised and write everything down to keep it all in order. If I’m working on reports, I can sometimes work from home, so I set myself up in a cosy corner and get all the admin done.
