DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Asst. Prof. Selçuk Yerci\, Middle East Technical Univ
 ersity\n\nTopic: "Light Management in Photovoltaics"\n\nLocation: Middle E
 ast Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey\n\nAbstract: The global photovo
 ltaics (PV) industry and installations in sun abundant regions in the Worl
 d have been growing tremendously. PV now offers electricity at a price bel
 ow $20 MW/h [1]. The roar of PV has been mainly based on implementation of
  well-developed know-how at lower cost. However\, recently\, new ideas are
  suggested to further increase the conversion efficiency of PV cells. This
  talk will start with an overview of PV research. Then\, I will discuss th
 e methods suggested to increase the efficiency of PV cells. Finally\, I wi
 ll focus on light management in photovoltaics to boost the efficiency [2\,

 d his B.S. and M.S. in physics at Middle East Technical University and Ph.
 D. in Electrical Engineering at Boston University. His M.S. and Ph.D. rese
 arch was mainly focused on silicon photonics\, in particular silicon compa
 tible light sources. After completing his Ph.D. he worked as a post-doctor
 al associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on thin film cry
 stalline silicon solar cells. Dr. Yerci is currently an assistant professo
 r in Micro and Nanotechnology Programme\, and in Electrical and Electronic
 s Engineering at Middle East Technical University. Dr. Yerci continues his
  research activities in his research group (app.mnt.metu.edu.tr) under the
  Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications (GUNAM) laboratories (g
 unam.metu.edu.tr). His recent research is mainly focused on high-efficienc
 y solar cells including material growth\, device simulation and device fab
 rication aspects. Dr. Yerci has authored/co-authored over 35 articles and 
 holding an h-index of 17.\n\nSpeaker(s): Asst. Prof. Selcuk Yerci\, \n\nAn
