Ned’s research interest is to find ways to fundamentally increase the efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells towards the ultimate efficiency limit for solar power conversion of 87%.  He has contributed towards III-V multi-junction solar cells, intermediate band and hot carrier devices with a particular emphasis on the use of nanostructures in photovoltaic devices.   From 2008-17, Ned worked in the Physics department at Imperial College London and prior to that at the School of Physics at the University of Sydney. From 2003-06 he was a JSPS research fellow at the Toyota Technological Institute, Japan.  Ned holds a PhD and MSc from Imperial College and MSci in Physics & Electronics from the University of St Andrews.
