THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
CHEETAH knowledge Exchange Portal is an integral part of CHEETAH project web site powered and developed by DTE unit of ENEA ©2014 - 2018 with support of all CHEETAH Partners. Starting from early 2018, CHEETAH KEP moved its first steps to became EERA Knowledge Exchange Platform for PV Technology (KEPT-PV). A new name for the previous platform characterizing our will to serve better and more efficiently in Knowledge Exchange a wider European and International PV RTD community.

Short Bio

Dr Fernando Castro leads research on photovoltaics and organic electronics at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), in the UK. He has been responsible for major breakthroughs in the measurement of the fundamental characteristics of these systems, including the development of advanced photoconductive atomic force microscopy. He has extensive experience in solution based device processing, nano and micron scale characterization. Current work includes assessment of performance, stability as well as materials and device parameters. Main interest is in the development of novel measurement methods for spatially-resolved multiple-parameter characterization.

Dr. Castro currently coordinates several projects, including the multimillion European EMRP ThinErgy project involving 13 partners from 7 countries. In addition to having delivered 15 invited talks, he has published over 40 papers (h-index = 13), two patent applications and several abstracts in conference proceedings.
