Who is doing PV research?

PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned Answers
Aside from PV manufacturers, their suppliers, and the universities and labs I listed in my response to your question about studying PV, there aren't many others. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and NASA Glenn Research Center could be added to the list I suppose, as well as the EU's Joint Research Centre. Also, Kawasaki Steel, who isn't normally associated with PV but is doing work on PV-grade silicon." source a

There are really only a small number of research institutions looking specifically at environmental links to breast cancer. While some funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is looking at causes of breast cancer, they are generally focused on lifestyle issues - weight, smoking, diet, exercise, etc. MBCC believes this is very limited considering the evidence for environmental links to breast cancer.

What kind of research are you doing?

Cryobanks International | Frequently Asked Questions > Co...
Cryobanks is currently involved in supporting research pursuing cures for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), spinal cord repair and dermal wound repair. We support this research by supplying cord blood not suitable for transplant, in addition to financial funding for these projects. Cryobanks' corporate policy does not permit involvement in any research that is deemed controversial (cloning, embryonics) or cosmetic. Our goal is to advance the field in areas that would save lives.

I'm interested in doing research in Chemistry. What should I do?

Frequently Asked Questions
Ah! This is the age old question that every freshman Chemist/Pre-med asks everyone. Well, you can TRY to talk to Professor Fine about it....... However, there may be other ways as well. The VERY first thing you should consider is that doing research is time consuming. If you are not sure whether you want to go into research, think it through first! Talk to other Chemistry majors; better yet come to a Chandler Society meeting and talk to people.

What is PV?

PV FAQ - PhotoVoltaic Frequently Questioned Answers
PV is an acronym which stands for 'photovoltaic', a way of producing electricity from light. More properly, the photovoltaic effect is an aspect of the photoelectric effect, and may be defined as the conversion of electromagnetic radiation to electrical voltage by a material. The photovoltaic material that almost everybody has seen is the silvery amorphous silicon solar cells in solar powered calculators.

SunPower - Home Owners - Solar Basics: FAQs
PV is short for photovoltaic (photo=light, voltaic=electricity), another term for solar electric power. PV is a semiconductor-based technology used to convert light energy into direct current electricity, without moving parts, noise, fuel, or pollution. The terms "solar cell" and "PV cell" are used interchangeably.

faq
The photovoltaic (PV) process converts sunlight, the most abundant energy source on the planet directly into electricity. The equipment required for this process has no moving parts and as a result requires minimal maintenance. In addition, the electricity is generated with no emissions and no noise. A PV cell consists of two or more thin layers of semiconducting material, most commonly silicon.

What broad areas of research are you currently doing?

FAQ
A main focus of our group at the present time is to explore how knowledge of telomerase and telomere biology will have useful applications in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics as well as determining how introduction of telomerase into normal human cells may have utility in cell and tissue engineering. To advance our knowledge about organismal aging, we need to have a much larger group of scientists working in the basic biology of aging field.

What happens if I don’t apply for HSC approval for my project before doing research?

KUMC Human Subjects Committee: Frequently Asked Questios
If you are conducting research involving human subjects without HSC approval, stop immediately and contact the HSC office at 8-1240. The HSC is charged with protecting human subjects involved in research, and research conducted without prior HSC approval is viewed as a breach of compliance that may expose risk to the subjects, KUMC, as well as the individual investigator.

How will doing research affect my workload?

Mathematics Research in the Classroom
Ultimately, research is no more demanding on your time than teaching that is more traditional. In some cases, it shifts the balance so that you spend less time preparing lessons and more time responding to student work. If you have not taught research before, there will be an initial need to think through the different issues that will arise in class. This work will prepare you to take advantage of any "teachable moments" (student comments that can lead the class to new understandings).

Are there opportunities for doing research projects?

frequently asked questions
A major part of the fourth year is a research project. You would choose one of the 50 or so research group leaders in the Department and do a project under their direction. There is a huge range to choose from and the facilities in Cambridge are second to none, so you will have an excellent experience. It is not uncommon for the work done by project students to be published.
