Senthilarasu Sundaram Author & Editor

Dr. 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. David Benson is a Senior Lecturer based in the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) at the University of Exeter, Penryn, Cornwall. His research encompasses a range of issue areas at the interface between political and environmental sciences, most notably EU environmental and energy policy, comparative environmental governance and public participation in environmental decision-making Prof. Tapas Kumar Mallick, PhD, is currently the Chair in Clean Technologies within the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and Academic Lead in Renewable Energy, University of Exeter, UK. He is also adjacent Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. His research span over various aspect of solar photovoltaic technology, especially high efficiency and low cost device and integrated renewables. He has published over 180 research articles on solar technology and has given over 80 academic presentations in 13 countries. Prof. Mallick is the Editor-in-Chief of “Advances in Renewable Energy Journal” and Editor-in-Chief of Editorial Boards for Energy Sources in the Journal of ‘Energies’.
