The University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University are joining forces and will receive $8.9 million to strengthen aphotovoltaics research cluster focusing on development in the areas of thin silicon photovoltaic science, photovoltaic nanoscale surface science, solid state photonics, deposition modeling, and molecular photonics. Dr. Robert Collins, professor of physics and the Nippon Electric Glass Chair in Silicate and Material Science, is the Principal Investigator (PI) on the proposal. Dr. Collins is pictured here with Dr. Marsillac, associate professor of physics and a co-PI of the proposal.
