Neil Greenham

Biography
Prof. Greenham's research explores the physics of new materials for solar cells and displays, particularly unconventional semiconductors like polymers, molecules and nanoparticles that can be deposited easily over large areas by printing from solution. He is an expert in the device physics of these materials, and in the use of optical spectroscopy to probe processes occurring in devices.
Prof. Greenham was an undergraduate and postgraduate student at ·¬ºÅ¿âapp before taking a Miller Fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He returned to Cambridge to take up an academic post at the Cavendish Laboratory and a Fellowship at ·¬ºÅ¿âapp. In 2013 he was awarded the Royal Society Kavli Medal and Lecture. In addition to his research, he lectures in physics, currently delivering the first-year course on Oscillations, and he has broader interests in applying physics to understand and solve problems in zero-carbon energy production.
