DESCRIPTION:Prof. Stelios A. Choulis\, Cyprus University of Technology \n
 The advantages of Solution Processed Photovoltaics\, such as their light w
 eight\, mechanical flexibility in addition to the small energy demand\, an
 d low cost equipment requirements for roll-to-roll printing mass productio
 n\, characterize them as a dominant candidate source for future electrical
  power. The Presentation aims in covering a range of engineering and under
 pinning scientific issues needed to bring printed (organic and perovskite)
  solar cells to commercial viability in terms of efficiency\, lifetime and
  cost. A systematic understanding of the relationship between materials st
 ructure\, processing\, properties and device performance relevant to print
 ed photovoltaics product development targets will be presented.\n\nBio : P
 rofessor Stelios A. Choulis is the Vice Departmental Chair of Mechanical E
 ngineering and Material Science and Engineering at the Cyprus University o
 f Technology (CUT)\,  the founder and Head of the Molecular Electronics a
 nd Photonics Research Unit (http://www.cut.ac.cy/mep) at CUT (Cyprus\, 200
 8- Present). He was the device research and development (R&D) group leader
  of Konarka Technologies (Germany\, 2006-2008) and R & D Engineer of the O
 sram Opto-Semiconductors Inc\, Organic Light Emitting Diode team at Silico
 n Valley (USA\, 2004-2006). During his Ph.D. (University of Surrey\, UK) a
 nd first Postdoctoral Research Associate position at Advanced Technology I
 nstitute (1999-2002\, University of Surrey\, UK) funded both by the Britis
 h Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) he investigate
 d the optical properties of quantum electronic materials and optoelectroni
 c devices.\n\nIn 2002 he joined the center of electronic materials and dev
 ices (Imperial College London\, UK) as Postdoctoral Research Associate fun
 ded by British Petrol (BP)\, and work on the opto-electronic properties of
  molecular semiconductor materials and devices (2002-2004). Stelios Chouli
 s has authored and co-authored more than 80 refereed journal publications 
 and over 11 patents families in the area of functional electronic material
 s\, processing and devices. From web of science his work has been cited ov
 er 6000 times (h-index=30\, average citations per paper=80). In 2015\, Pro
 f. Choulis was awarded the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Gr
 ant.
