About

Professor Stuart Irvine is Director of the Centre for Solar Energy Research (CSER) in the Department of Engineering, Swansea University and is based in the OpTIC Technology Centre in St Asaph, North Wales; along with the CSER team. He is one of the pioneers for deposition of II-VI compound semiconductors by Metal-organic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD) for application to thin film solar cells and advanced thin film materials for the opto-electronics industry. This research has led to the publication of over 200 journal and conference publications and 10 patents.
