Capturing the Sun: What’s on the Horizon in Solar Energy

The American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science will host an evening with Prof. David Cahen, Department of Materials and Interfaces, and Scientific Director, Alternative Sustainable Energy Research Initiative.

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.
