Autorenporträt

I. M. Dharmadasa is professor of applied physics and leads the Electronic Materials and Sensors Group at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. He has worked in semiconductor research since becoming a PhD student at Durham University as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1977, under the supervision of the late Sir Gareth Roberts. His interest in the electrodeposition of thin-film solar cells grew when he joined the Apollo Project at BP Solar in 1988. He has continued this area of research on joining Sheffield Hallam University in 1990.
