Subhendu Guha (born 1942 in Dhaka) is an Indian scientist in the field of photovoltaics.[1][2][3]
Early life and career
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 1979 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][9] He has also served as a panelist on the US Senate committee on energy and natural resources.[10]
Awards and recognition
Subhendu is a recipient of the Bright Light Award from the US Department of Energy,[11] and the PVSEC 2009 award for outstanding contribution to science and technology of photovoltaic.[12]
He also received the World Technology Award[1] and the Best of the Best Award from ABP Ananda for his contribution to science.[13]
