Nominator's project description

Professor Bruce Parkinson from the University of Wyoming, Laramie, USA Professor Parkinson is an international authority in the electrochemical surface science of semiconductors. In his work he has pioneered many novel techniques and materials for a detailed investigation of elementary processes in photoelectrochemistry with remarkable achievement in solar energy conversion. During his stay in Germany, he will concentrate on new systems for light induced fuel generation. Professor Parkinson is hosted by Professor Wolfram Jaegermann at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
