| 报告介绍 | Abstract:
The University of New South Wales has carried out silicon solar cell research since the mid 1970s, when it achieved world recognition. The UNSW solar cell research group has been one of the global leaders in research and new and, since 2000, pioneered specialised undergraduate education in photovoltaics engineering. The Photovoltaics and Solar Energy undergraduate program is a four year full-time Engineering undergraduate program covering device theory; photovoltaic technology and manufacturing; photovoltaic applications and system design; policy and analysis and modelling; renewable energy technologies and sustainable energy. A partner undergraduate program, Renewable Energy Engineering, encompasses a broader range of renewable energy technologies including solar thermal, wind, biomass, solar architecture and the design of energy efficient buildings. The School also offers postgraduate coursework programs and two research programs: a Masters by Research and a Doctor of Philosophy. The presentation will explain the programs and recent developments.
Biosketch:
Richard Corkish graduated with distinction as a Communications Engineer from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1986 then worked with the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics on satellite earth-station antenna design and testing before studying for the PhD degree under the supervision of Professor Martin Green at the University of New South Wales’ Centre for Photovoltaic Devices and Systems. After a brief period working with the Rainbow Power Company in Nimbin he has worked on solar cell theory, applications and education at UNSW. He has been Head of School at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, UNSW since 2003 and, since 2013, become Centre General Manager of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, which represents the Australian partners in the US-Australia Institute for Advanced Photovoltaics, supported by the Australian Solar Institute and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. |
