Ned Ekins-Daukes is a full professor at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW. He completed his PhD in Solid State Physics at Imperial College London in 2000, following his MSc in Semiconductor Science & Technology in 1996 and his MSci in Physics & Electronics from the University of St Andrews in 1995. His research focuses on enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells, aspiring to reach the ultimate efficiency limit for solar power conversion, which is estimated to be 87%. His research involves establishing the thermodynamic boundaries that indicate the processes that can lead to efficiency improvements. Ekins-Daukes has conducted practical work to demonstrate working proof-of-principle devices through computer modeling and optical spectroscopy, in addition to standard photovoltaic device measurements. His work has led to the development of advanced concept devices, including quantum solar cells and hybrid photovoltaic-thermal systems, which aim to exceed the conventional performance of solar technologies.
