After completing his PhD at McMaster, he joined the University of New South Wales, Sydney where he is now a Scientia Professor and the Founding Director of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, involving five other Australian Universities and research groups. His group’s contributions to photovoltaics include conception and first demonstration of both “PERC” and “TOPCon” solar cells, accounting for over 90% of global production, and holding the record for silicon cell energy conversion efficiency for 3 of the last 4 decades, regarded as a “Top Ten” milestone in solar photovoltaics history since Becquerel’s initial studies in 1839. Major international awards include the 1999 Australia Prize, the 2021 Japan Prize, the 2022 Millennium Technology Prize and the 2023 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering (with three of his former students). </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-8" style="height: 170px; overflow: hidden;font-family: auto!important"> <strong>Prof. Martin A.

Santilli obtained his Ph. D. in theoretical physics at the University of Torino, Italy in 1965; he then emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1967 where he was on the faculty of the University of Miami, Boston University, MIT, and Harvard University under financial support from NASA, UFOSR and DOE. In 1991 he accepted the position of President and Professor at the Institute for Basic Research in Florida. He is the author of 345 papers published in refereed journals and twenty post Ph. D. monographs in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology; he is the Editor of a number of scientific journals in mathematics and physics and was awarded twelve U. S. patents. He is internationally known for developing new mathematics (known as Lie-admissible, Lie-isotopic and isodual mathematics) for the construction of hadronic mechanics, chemistry and biology, and for the verification of the 1935 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument that "quantum mechanics is not a complete theory." These discoveries lead to the prediction of new technologies, incompatible with quantum mechanics but fully compatible with hadronic mechanics, which he developed as Chief Scientist at various U. S. publicly traded and private companies.

For more than 25 years, Prof Bahaj has pioneered sustainable energy research as the head of one of the UK’s leading university-based research groups, the Sustainable Energy Research Group, (SERG). The aims of ECCD and SERG are to promote and conduct fundamental and applied research and pre-industrial development in the areas of energy technologies, improvements in energy efficiency and assessing the impact of climate change on the built environment. Under the leadership of Prof Bahaj, the SERG involvement in ground breaking research projects in the UK, as well as in China, the Middle East and Africa, has been pivotal. Prof Bahaj is a major contributor to the energy debate at local, national and EU levels as well as through the organisation of and participation at major international conferences and meetings. As an experienced research team leader, Prof Bahaj has initiated and managed research in ocean energy conversion (resources, technologies and impacts), photovoltaics, energy in buildings and impacts of climate change on the built environment, resulting in over 240 published academic articles in journals and conferences of international standing (see Google Scholar publication analysis). From 2001 to 2007, Prof Bahaj was a member of the Department of Business and Regulatory Reform (BERR) Technology Programmes Panels on Water (including ocean energy) and Solar Energy. He is the co-ordinator of the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Eco-region research networks that aim to develop research themes and projects to study eco-city development encompassing resource assessment, technology pathways for the production and conservation of energy, planning, and the social and economic studies required in establishing eco-regions in China and elsewhere (www.eco-networks.org) (2007 – 2011). He is also an appointee of the EPSRC, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research Supervisory Board (2005 to 2010) and is a member of the British Standards Institute (BSI) Committee on Standards for PV Energy Systems (GEL82) representing the UK on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) – Working Group 2 (WG2: PV systems) (2004 – to date). An internationally recognised expert in the field of renewable energy, Prof Bahaj has been invited to deliver keynote addresses at conferences throughout Europe, America, Middle East and the Far East. In 2007, he was invited to give the RSA Sigma President’s Lecture, chaired by HRH Prince Phillip. Prof Bahaj organised, managed and chaired the 9th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC11), held in Southampton which was attended by around 500 participants from 22 countries. For over two years, he has chaired the EWTEC technical committee which runs the most prestigious global academic event in ocean energy research and development and he also chaired the Technical Committees of the World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC), held in Glasgow 2008. He is an active member of the technical committees of other conferences such as the Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (AWTEC), the 27th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2008, Estoril), and a member of the Management and Technical Committees of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conferences (EWTEC, Porto 2007, Portugal, Uppsala 2009, Sweden). Recently, Prof Bahaj established a new journal International Journal of Marine Energy, Elsevier, that addresses the research areas of ocean energy, focussing on wave and tidal energy. He was also the Guest Editor to the following issues: (a) ‘New Research in Tidal Current Energy’, UK’s Royal Society Philosophical Transactions A; January 2013 and ‘Marine Energy’ Renewable Energy, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2006. He is also is an Associate Editor of the Journal Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews and is on the Editorial Boards of the journal Sustainable Cities and Society and the International Journal Sustainable Built Environment. Previously, he was on the Editorial Boards of the journal, Renewable Energy (2005 – 2011) and the UK’s Institution of Civil Engineering journal Energy (2006-2009). Prof Bahaj was also the Volume Editor and contributor for ‘Ocean Energy’ volume in a newly published major reference work, entitled Comprehensive Renewable Energy, Elsevier, (May 2012). This is an 8-volume work representing the latest research and development in renewable energy. In Feb 2013, this publication was awarded the PROSE Award 2012, Reference Work: Best Multivolume Reference/Science, by the American Association of Publishers. To address education and training in the areas of energy and climate change Prof Bahaj developed two revolutionary MSc programmes – MSc Energy Resources & Climate Change and MSc Energy Environment & Buildings, covering energy generation, energy resources and climate change and energy in the built environment (www.energymasters.soton.ac.uk). Prof Bahaj also acts as a panel member and reviewer for major research and grant awarding bodies including: EPSRC, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ireland Higher Education Authority, Science Foundation Ireland, Technology Strategy Board (TSB) the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), New Zealand Foundation for Research Science and Technology.
