Cyrus Wadia
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley Haas School of Business

Time: 4:15 pm
Location: Panofsky Auditorium. Event is open to the public.

Energy researcher Cyrus Wadia will provide an in-depth look at his work to discover and develop a new material system toward a more expansive solar photovoltaic future. He will cover topics of: material selection based on abundance, new synthetic pathways for scaleable materials, and preliminary results of working solar cell devices he has fabricated with these principles in mind.

Wadia co-directs the Clean Tech to Market program at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, and researches nanomaterials with potential energy applications at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
