PLENARY INVITED SPEAKERS
May 30th, 9:20-10:20
« Solar cells micro cells arrays » by Dr. J.F. Guillemoles, CNRS Research Director, Chimie-Paristec – France
Micro solar cells are a way to improve transport issues of electrons and heat in such a way that it reduces losses. They enable also to explore extreme operation regimes. The concept can also improve drastically the active material utilization, which is of importance when rare or critical elements are used. The concept has been proven with several technologies (CIGS, GaAs). Subsequently solar cells arrays, with a concentration optics integrated have been realized and tested.
About the speaker
JF Guillemoles is a CNRS Research Director at IRDEP, a joint EDF-CNRS-ENSCP lab and Director of NextPV an international joint lab between CNRS and the RCAST (University of Tokyo), where he is also visiting professor. He is currently active on high efficiency concepts for solar energy conversion (Hot Carriers, Intermediate Band, Multijunctions, Nanophotonics), luminescence-based characterization techniques (esp. Hyperspectral imaging), and modeling of photovoltaic materials and devices. He is author/co-author of more than 300 publications (peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, patents, proceedings, …).
May 31st, 9:00-10:00
« Miniaturized Gas Chromatography for Space Exploration: a 50 years history » by Pr. Cyril SZOPA, LATMOS & Institut Universitaire de France, France
From the early years of space exploration, in situ characterization of the chemical composition of the solar system bodies is among the top priorities in the planetary science community. Indeed, it brings important information about the history and current evolution of the studied bodies, the origin of the solar system, and also on the way life can have arisen in the solar system. With this aim, miniaturized gas chromatographs are used since the Viking mission to the Mars surface. This contribution will present the instruments used for decades, the technical evolution of space GC, and the amazing discoveries it allowed in planetary sciences.
About the speaker
Cyril SZOPA is a Full Professor at University of Versailles Saint Quentin (France) in Astronomy and Astrophysics and a Junior Member at Institut Universitaire de France. He worked for 20 years on the organic chemistry in the solar system. More particularly, he studied the distribution and evolution of the organic molecules among the solar system bodies, in connection with the prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life. With this aim, he developed both laboratory experiments and space instruments, such as SAM in the current Curiosity Mars rover and MOMA in the future Exomars 2020 rover.
May 31st, 14:00-15:00
« Development of New Electret Charging Methods and Its Application to MEMS Energy Harvesters » by Prof. Yuji SUZUKI, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Tokyo, Japan
About the talk
Electret-based vibration energy harvester (EH) attracts much attention due to its high output power at low frequency and in small volume. Because implanted charges in electret decays in high humidity, electret EHs should be secured in appropriate package. Recently, we developed two new charging methods using soft X-ray and UV irradiation. In this talk, principles and characterization of these charging methods are described and its application to MEMS EHs are introduced.
About the speaker
Professor Yuji Suzuki received the B.S., M.S., and Dr.Eng. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1987, 1989, and 1993, respectively. He is currently with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Tokyo, as a Professor. He serves as Steering Committee Member of PowerMEMS Conference, Organizing Committee member of IEEE International Symposium on Electret. He also served as a general co-chair of IEEE MEMS2010 (Hong Kong). His research interests include MEMS-based energy harvesting using electrets, micro energy conversion such as microscale combustion, and optimal design/control of micro heat and fluid flow.
