Professor in Photovoltaics and Director at the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre

After completing an undergraduate Chemistry Degree and Engineering Doctorate in Steel Technology at Swansea University, Trystan moved to Corus Strip Products (now Tata Steel) as a product development engineer and a theme leader for the process technology group in the engineering doctorate scheme.

In 2007, Trystan returned to academia to take up a research position on the development of dye-sensitized solar cells on metal substrates. Since then his research has focused on thin film printed PV with a specialism in developing new technologies for the manufacture of solution processable photovoltaics such as perovskites and OPV including deposition (roll-to-roll and sheet-to-sheet) and curing processes and their characterisation using electrochemistry, photochemistry or optoelectronic methods. He currently leads PV research at SPECIFIC and his research goal is to take new photovoltaic materials and develop the manufacturing pipeline for fabrication at scale.

During his career, Trystan has published over 150 academic papers and is a chartered engineer with the IOM3 and a fellow of the royal society of chemistry. Trystan is married with three daughters and a son and spends most of his home life wrapped around their fingers.

 

To join the seminar search CPE Seminars in MS Teams. Internal Only.

The CPE Soft Electronic Materials is a seminar series funded by the CPE for PhDs, PostDocs and Fellows to present their research to open up discussion and collaboration. We aim to have speakers from all groups and areas of research within the CPE.

Upcoming talks:

26/11/2020 – Prof Trystan Watson, Swansea University

03/12/2020 – Weidong Xu, Imperial College

10/12/2020 – Prof Peter Skabara, Glasgow University

 

In the new year we will be combing our seminar series with the other CPE seminar series.

If you or anyone in your group would be interested in speaking or if you have a suggestion for invited external speakers please let us know!
