Dr Timothy Warner
ACEx Project Officer
Tim worked to translate materials and fabrication research developed at ACEx into a finished luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) product that can be used to showcase the progress made by the centre in the field of LSCs.
During his PhD, Tim studied the dispersion and alignment of nanoparticles for LSCs. The research revealed a new method of identifying optimised nanoparticle dispersion, developed a scaleable dispersion technique and investigated the effects of nanoparticle alignment. He also contributed to the development of modelling software to predict the performance of LSCs. These findings assist in the development of LSCs with improved power conversion efficiencies.
Prior to commencing his PhD, Tim worked for four years in the polymer industy, testing plastics, rubbers and composites and developing new products.
