Photonics for Energy

Prof. J. Michel NUNZI

Queen’s University, Canada

Research on the applications of photonics for renewable energy is at the forefront of actual discoveries and innovation. All the light spectrum is concerned, from the UV down to the micro-wave range. Research encompasses light harvesting, conversion, storage, distribution, monitoring, consumption, and its efficient use. We expect that the symposium will stimulate new research and collaborations in the core of this new edition of ICOME 2023

Biography

Prof. Jean-Michel Nunzi graduated from l’Ecole de Physique et Chime, Paris in 1982, he joined l’Ecole Polytechnique for a PhD on the nonlinear optics of surface plasma waves (plasmons). He was then hired as full-time Researcher in Organic Photonics at the Atomic Energy Commission (Saclay) in 1984. He joined the Department of Physics at the University of Angers as Professor in 2000, where he built the Plastic Solar Cells Technology Research Team. He moved to Queen’s University as Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Chiral Photonics in 2006, renamed Photonics for Life in 2013. He studies Organic Photonics, including the Chemistry, Processing and Physics of nanomaterials and devices. He continuous to innovate the news process for PV cells and match between photonic and renewable energy. His Google H-factor is 52
