Dr. Son is an internationally published and recognized expert in the field of photonics and optoelectronic devices. His breakthrough work has been published in Integrated Photonics and Nanophotonics Research and Applications, and the Lasers and Electro Optics Society.
As we look to increase output from solar technology, we are extremely pleased to have someone of Dr. Sons caliber join our team, said Jim Nelson, CEO of Solar3D. With a decade of experience on the cutting edge of optoelectronic devices, he is well suited to develop Solar3Ds innovative 3-dimensional solar cell. His creativity and experience in micro- and nano-laser design is valuable in optimizing the performance of the highly efficient micro-photovoltaic structures that make up a Solar3D cell.
Solar3Ds breakthrough technology uses low-cost processes and innovative 3D light trapping structures to increase the efficiency of solar cells in order to decrease the overall cost per watt of electricity. Through revolutionary solar cell engineering, Solar3Ds approach will tip the solar cost curve in the direction of massive scalability, thus allowing the global deployment of a non-polluting energy technology that produces electricity from an unlimited power source, the sun.
It is a wonderful opportunity to join an innovative company, which holds such potential to making solar energy more cost-effective, said Dr. Son. When fully developed, the companys breakthrough technology will change the way people think about energy by making it economically feasible for more people and businesses to switch to solar.
Dr. Son received his Ph.D., Masters of Science, and Bachelors of Science degrees, all in Electrical Engineering at the Pusan National University in Korea. He has authored 15 publications on optoelectronic design and fabrication. He currently resides in Santa Barbara, CA.
