[jcol/] Prof. David Cahen
DC’s main research interests lie in exploring chemical means to control the electronic and optical properties of materials. He has had a keen interest in solar energy conversion ever since participating in the first Earth Day as a beginner PhD student, and in earlier studies co-invented and developed a solar cell, a device that uses solar energy to generate electrical power, of a new type – one that also stores electricity. He also contributed to the understanding and assessing the efficiency of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants and algae. His atomic-level research has helped to define the chemical limits of semiconductor miniaturization and contributed significantly both to the basic understanding and the practical use of several types of solar cells. His current research is aimed at understanding how simple organic molecules and complex biomolecules, such as proteins, can function as optical-electronic materials, how they can work in devices such as solar cells and sensors, and how to improve solar cells, in terms of materials and use of light.
