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.

Dr. Hassina Derbal Habak obtained her graduated on “Capteurs Optiques et Instrumentations from University of Angers and made her PhD thesis in same University in the same Laboratory PHIA. She worked on elaboration and characterization of structured organic solar cells. She demonstrated the relation between morphology, physico-chemical and electrical characteristics of the cells. She studied and used new materials as C60’derivatives and Carbon Nanotubes for improving solar cells’ performance. She Joined for her Post-Doc IM2NP and LPCIM-Ecole Polytechnique. She studied new solar cells based on CNT or Silicon amorphous as electrodes. She had interest into interface effects on IV parameters and optical characteristics. She is Full Professor associate in University of Picardie Jules Verne-France from Laboratoire de Technologie Innovante LTI.

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. His Google H-factor is 52.
