Biography

In addition to all the others, the challenge of generating accessible and ecologically sustainable energy is paramount in today's world. Developing economically scalable solar cell technology is the ideal answer to this challenge. This year, I plan on studying crystals of small organic molecules in the hope of creating a new, efficient and cheap photovoltaic. I want to take the best of both currently active areas of solar energy research: the stability and efficiency of traditional crystal technology, and the low cost and flexibility of organics.
