REAPER Lab congratulates Ms. Nabila ElBeheriy for successfully defending her MS thesis entitled, “ Noninvasive Detection of Incipient PV Module Failure from Moisture Ingress.” Ms. ElBeheiry’s research studied the detection of moisture ingress in solar photovoltaic modules. She developed a noninvasive early detection method for moisture penetration into solar panels. Her work marks an important advancement in enhancing the safety, reliability, and long-term performance of photovoltaic energy systems.
Ms. ElBeheiry earned her B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University in Qatar in May 2020 and completed her M.S. in Electrical Engineering at the REAPER Lab at Texas A&M University, where her research focused on model-based system identification techniques to perform anomaly detection to photovoltaic systems. She is currently working at Inventus Power, specializing in power electronics applications for lithium-ion battery systems.
