Queen Mary Solar Cell Symposium

Date: Tuesday 16 January 2024 12:00 - 17:00

Location: Arts Two 3.16

The Queen Mary Solar Cell symposium allows academics across Queen Mary to share their latest research developments and techniques on solar cell technologies including devices, measurements and characterisation and novel materials and modifications to improve efficiency, stability or achieve novel performance. The focus is on perovskite and organic photovoltaics, in which we specialise, but is not limited to this.

We also welcome a guest keynote speaker to each event. This time we are joined by Prof Ravi Silva, Director of the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and Head of the NanoElectronics Centre at the University of Surrey. Prof Silva will give an overview of the solar cell research going on at the ATI at Surrey.
