 Po K. Lau
Mr. Lau is a multi-disciplinary photovoltaic (PV) industrialist. He has
in-depth experience in PV power system performances, power deliverable
and economics from small 12V battery trickle charger to megawatt scale
PV power plant in actual deployment. His past experience in PV also
includes setting up of a module manufacturing production line,
re-engineering an amorphous silicon solar cell factory and led the
planning of multi-crystalline silicon ingot and wafer project. He is also leading progresses in contact surface preparation and alternative buffer layers.
Prior to his full engagement in this industry, Po had assumed senior
executive positions in electronics original design manufacturing,
plastics and metal parts fabrication, building materials manufacturing
and distribution in Hong Kong.
Po has authored and co-authored a number of Canadian and US patents and has led design projects producing
numerous PV products winning awards in International CES, Exhibition of
Inventions of Geneva and Montreal Institute of Design.
He is a member of the IEEE and the Materials Research Society (MRS).
Cindy X. Qiu
Dr. Qiu is one of the pioneers in the development of low cost
production of CuInSe2 thin film solar cells. She is the first author to
report high efficiency CuInSe2 thin films solar cell deposited using
one step electrodeposition method. She has held world record on
efficiency of electrodeposited CuInSe2 cells from 1990 to 2001.
She is also working in the development of organic light emitting diode and
organic solar cells. She has developed measurement technology to
determine the conductivity of the organic materials.
Cindy has 13 patents (5 Canadian and 8 US) and twelve 12 pending
patents (one Canadian and 11 US) to her credit. She authored or
coauthored more than 60 scientific papers in refereed journals and
conference proceedings.
Ishiang Shih
Dr. Shih is the associate professor in McGill's Electrical Engineering Department.
Ishiang's major research areas include material research, semiconductor
devices, superconductors, and MEMS devices. His material research
activities include preparation of tellurium and selenium-tellurium
crystals (Czochralski growth) and characterization of optoelectronic
properties of the grown crystals. He established a procedure for the
growth of tellurium crystal with a 100% yield. He developed techniques
for both polycrystalline and monocrystalline tellurium thin films using
vacuum deposition.
He has established Bridgman system for the growth of CuInSe2 crystals
of good electronic quality. He also developed an electrochemical method
for the deposition of CuInSe2 thin films and carried out optical and
electrical measurements on junction devices. Based on these materials,
he successfully developed high efficiency (> 10%) solar cells. In
the superconductor research, he developed research experiments for high
TC superconductors, YBaCuO, BiSrCaCuO, PbBiSrCaCuO and TlBaCaCuO,
specifically for future electronic applications. He has done research
work of micro tips for the field emission in flat panel display
applications. He has established fabrication process to yield InGaAs
optical detectors with the lowest leakage current ever reported. He
also established fabrication technologies for micro- and
nano-engineering. He has demonstrated and patented many devices
including optical filters for WDM, optical switches, and microwave
millimetre MEMS switches.
He has authored and co-authored more than 200 papers in refereed
journals and conferences. He also applied and received more than 10
patents in fabrication process and devices for applications of material
growth, solar cell, superconductor materials and devices, as well as
MEMS devices.
