Prof. Cahen, who joined the Weizmann Institute in 1976, has a keen interest in solar energy conversion as a sustainable, economically viable energy alternative. He explores chemical means to control the electronic and optical properties of materials, studies that have led to new insights into the way devices such as solar cells work, what limits them, and ultimately, how to improve them.
