In 1980\, he joined th e world of solar energy to coordinate the technology transfer to Switzerla nd of a solar cells production line from Solarex (USA). He then managed th e production of cells and participated to the design of the Pasan sun simu lators. Today\, he works mainly as an independent consultant and expert in photovoltaic engineering. Furthermore\, he provides in-house PV training at PVsyst and on-demand specialized training in PV technology abroad. Mich el is the author (with Anne Labouret) of « Solar Photovoltaics » publish ed by the IET\, Stevenage\, UK\, and of « Construire Ecolo » published b y Dunod in Paris.\n\nProfessor Christophe Ballif is director of the Photot ovoltaics and Thin Film Electronics Laboratory (PV-Lab) at the institute o f microengineering (IMT) in Neuchâtel (part of the EPFL since 2009). Chri stophe Ballif graduated as a physicist from the EPFL in 1994\, where he al so obtained in 1998 his Phd degree working on novel PV materials. He accom plished his postdoctoral research at NREL (Golden\, US) on compound semico nductor solar cells (CIGS and CdTe). He worked then at the Fraunhofer ISE (Ge) on crystalline silicon photovoltaics (monocrystalline and multi-cryst alline) until 2003 and then at the EMPA in Thun (CH) before becoming full professor at the University of Neuchâtel IMT in 2004\, taking over the ch air of Prof. A. Shah. Since 2013\, C. Ballif is also the director of the n ew CSEM PV-Center\, also located in Neuchâtel. He (co-) authored over 500 journal and technical papers\, as well as several patents. He is an elect ed member of the SATW\, member of the scientific council of the Swiss AEE\ , and member of the board of the EPFL Energy center. In 2016\, he received the Becquerel prize for his contributions to the field of high efficiency photovoltaics.\n\nProfessor Arvind V. Shah studied in Bombay\, London\, a nd Zurich\, receiving his Ph.D. in applied physics in 1968 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). He worked at the ETH unti l founding the Centre for Electronics Design and Technology (CEDT) at the Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore\, India\, in 1975. In March 1979\, he was appointed professor of electronics at the University of Neuchâtel \, and in 1988 began a concurrent\, part-time appointment at the Swiss Fed eral Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). He is founder of Thin-fil m and Photovoltaics Laboratory at IMT Neuchâtel where he was involved wit h the invention of VHF plasma deposition and the pioneering work with micr ocrystalline silicon and “micromorph” tandem solar cells. Since 2000\, he has been involved in the successful industrial transfer of technology\ , negotiating major licensing agreements both to start-up and established companies. In 2007\, he received the Becquerel prize for his ground-breaki ng work on Silicon thin film solar cells.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtool s.ieee.org/m/272751 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/272751 ORGANIZER:michbron@bluewin.ch SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:IEEE Stamm @EPFL : Photovoltaics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/272751 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The <a href="https://www.ieee-epfl.ch/">IE EE EPFL Student Branch</a> in collaboration with the <a href="https://ieee .ch/">IEEE Life Member Activity Group</a>\, kindly invites you to particip ate to the online May Stamm dedicated to Photovoltaics.</p>\n<p>We are hon ored to have three highly knowledgeable speakers\, to present different as pects of this technology so important for the energy supply of our planet. </p>\n<p>No registration required.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>18:00 &ndash\; 18:05&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Opening remarks &ndash\; Michel Bron</p>\n<p>18:05 &ndash\; 18:30&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbs p\; Introduction\, Evolution\, Simulation of Solar plants &ndash\; Michel Villoz</p>\n<p>18:30 &ndash\; 19:00&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; New photov oltaic technologies\; efficiency and reduction of &laquo\; grey &raquo\; e nergy\; <br />&ldquo\;Transformative&rdquo\; photovoltaic for solar archit ecture &ndash\; Prof. Christophe Ballif</p>\n<p>19:00 &ndash\; 19:15&nbsp\ ;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; &laquo\;Status of Photovoltaics&raquo\;\, based on the Book: <a href="https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030464851">Solar C ells and Modules</a> &ndash\; <br />By the editor\, Prof. Arvind Shah</p>\ n<p>19:15 &ndash\; 19:25&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Questions and answers </p>\n<p>19:25 &ndash\; 19:30&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Closing remarks &ndash\; Hugo Wyss</p>\n<p>----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------</p>\n<p><strong>Michel Villoz</str ong><span style="font-weight: 400\;"> graduated in 1977 from EPFL (Ecole P olytechnique F&eacute\;d&eacute\;rale de Lausanne) with a diploma in elect rical engineering.
