Dr. Nicholas Grant

Biography

Nicholas E. Grant studied Physics at the University of Adelaide, graduating with Honours in 2007. He completed his PhD in Photovoltaic Engineering at the Australian National University in 2012. Following his doctoral studies, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, where he developed low-temperature passivation methods to detect and quantify bulk silicon defects. In 2016, Nicholas relocated to the UK to undertake a research fellow position at the University of Warwick, focusing on enhancing the performance of silicon photovoltaic materials and developing novel organic thin films. By 2021, he became an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick, where he contributes his diverse research expertise in energy storage, metamaterials, and photovoltaic technologies. His current research interests include developing surface layers to improve the interfacial properties of high-efficiency silicon-based photovoltaic devices, enhancing the longevity and storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries, and enabling high modulation efficiencies in terahertz metamaterial applications.
