The repository is not just a set of plots; it is a structured analysis pipeline that studies dark I-V behavior, illuminated J-V curves, layer thickness effects, temperature variation, quantum efficiency, and ETL/HTL sweeps. I also added an automated report-generation workflow and a machine-learning dashboard to make the simulation results easier to explore and interpret.</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p>GitHub repository: <a href="https://github.com/Asphane/perovskite-cell-scaps-simulation-analysis" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Asphane/perovskite-cell-scaps-simulation-analysis</a></p> <p>Demo video: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zSmQiwvoN42cu0jrwqucPoSIW9Lh2u1g/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zSmQiwvoN42cu0jrwqucPoSIW9Lh2u1g/view?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>Screenshots: <br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnvmpc4udqjg14rg9snzh.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnvmpc4udqjg14rg9snzh.png" alt=" " width="800" height="389"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdfxq9qriipne25lg80uh.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdfxq9qriipne25lg80uh.png" alt=" " width="799" height="295"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm2ck7u81h9ptvechvqta.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm2ck7u81h9ptvechvqta.png" alt=" " width="799" height="389"></a></p> <h2> The Comeback Story </h2> <p>This project started as raw simulation output and scattered analysis notebooks. I turned it into a cleaner, more complete project by organizing the work into separate modules for J-V analysis, dark I-V analysis, thickness optimization, QE, temperature sweep, and ETL/HTL sweep studies. I also added report generation so the findings could be documented more systematically instead of staying buried inside notebooks.</p> <h2> My Experience with GitHub Copilot </h2> <p>GitHub Copilot helped me move faster on repetitive work: notebook boilerplate, plotting code, data handling, and report-generation scripts. It reduced the amount of time I spent writing mechanical code and let me focus more on the physics, the analysis logic, and the structure of the final project.</p> devchallenge githubchallenge
