Early life and career

edit

Subhendu Guha was born in 1942 in Dhaka. Subhendu studied at Presidency College, Kolkata, and obtained his M.Tech. and PhD from the University of Calcutta.[4]

Subhendu developed a new process for making Amorphous silicon in 1998 after he joined Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai in 1968.[5]

In 1991, he led a team of scientists that made innovations to achieve efficiency solar cells and modules using Thin-film solar cell silicon and also the invention of flexible solar roofing shingles.[6][7]

In 2006, he met former President George W. Bush during the president's visit to United Solar.[8] He has also served as a panelist on the US Senate committee on energy and natural resources.[9]

Awards and recognition

edit

Subhendu is a recipient of the Bright Light Award from the US Department of Energy,[10] and the PVSEC 2009 award for outstanding contribution to science and technology of photovoltaic. [11]

Selected publications
