Sundaram, SenthilarasuDr. Senthilarasu Sundaram (SeS) earned a MPhil in Applied Physics from PSG College of Technology, India and a MSc in Physics and a PhD Physics from Bharathiar University, India in 2006. His prior experience includes: a postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Chonbuk National University, Republic of Korea, a Research Fellowship at National University of Singapore, Singapore, and research associateships in the UK at Heriot-Watt and Loughborough Universities. His research focus is on third generation photovoltaics involving different technologies, as well as on the applications of nano-structured oxide materials and developing flexible solar cells on metal and polymer foils. Specifically, he has the following interests: new materials for dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs), perovskite solid state solar cells, thin film-based building integrated PV, manufacturability of DSSCs in cooperation with industry in up-scaling production; and fundamental characterisation of solar cells using impedance and transient spectroscopic measurements. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters on these and related topics.
