Personal profile
Biography
Klaus Weber is Associate Professor in the Research School of Engineering at the ANU. He co-invented and developed several thin film cell technologies including SLIVER technology, for which he was closely involved in the commercial development including the current ARENA project (formerly with Transform Solar).
He is a recipient of the Weeks Award by the International Solar Energy Society and the Alan Walsh Medal for Service to Industry by the Australian Institute of Physics. His work on SLIVER technology received numerous other awards including the Banksia Award and the Aichi World Expo Global Eco-Tech 100 award. He has authored over 250 journal and conference publications.
His research is focoused on facilitating the commercial application of new technologies by addressing key materials and device challenges. He has worked with a number of companies including photovoltaic panel manufacturers and equipment manufacturers.
