 About Professor Grätzel
Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne, Michael
Grätzel directs there the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces.
He discovered a new type of solar cell based on dye sensitized
mesoscopic oxide particles and pioneered the use of nanocrystalline
materials in electroluminscent and electrochromic displays as
well as lithium ion batteries and bioelectronic devices. Author of
over 500 publications, two books and inventor of more than 50
patents, his work has obtained over 40,000 citations so far,
ranking amongst the most highly cited scientists worldwide. He has
received several prestigious awards, including the 2006 World
Technology Award in Materials, the Faraday Medal of the British
Royal Society of Chemistry, the Dutch Havinga award, the Italgas
prize, The year 2000 European Millenium prize for innovations and
the Gerischer award. In 2005 he was selected by the Scientific
American as one of the 50 top researchers in the world. He received
a doctor’s degree in Natural Science from the Technical
University Berlin and honorary doctors degrees from the
Universities of Delft, Uppsala and Turin. He is a member of the
Swiss Chemical Society as well as of the European Academy of
Science and was elected honorary member of the Société
Vaudoise de Sciences Naturelles.
