The director of the ARC Photovoltaic Centre of Excellence at UNSW, Professor Stuart Wenham, is the only Australian to win a prestigious World Technology Award, announced in San Francisco last week.
Professor Wenham won the Energy – Individual category award for his ground-breaking research in the area of photovoltaic and renewable energy.
“One thing that makes this award particularly special for me is that the nominators and judges are our peers who are the recognised leaders in the field world-wide,” Professor Wenham says.
“I think the award emphasizes the importance now being given world-wide to renewable energy technologies and more specifically photovoltaics as an important and viable energy source for our planet for the future.
“I would like to acknowledge the team of world class researchers in our Centre who have made our achievements possible and also our industry collaborators such as Suntech-Power, CSG Solar, and BP Solar for their work in commercialising our various technologies.”
The World Technology Awards, in conjunction with the New York Stock Exchange, honor individuals and corporations from 20 technology-related sectors. Judged by their peers, the awards recognise innovative work of long-term significance.
