Pioneering innovation

Andreas Bett is a member of NexWafe’s Technology Advisory Board. Since 2017, Bett has served as a director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, Europe's largest solar research institute.

One of his main research topics is the development of highly efficient multi-junction solar cells, with a focus on the development of multi-junction solar cells based on III-V semiconductors for use in space to power satellites, and for use in concentrating PV systems. Multi-junction solar cells with silicon as a sub-cell are also a priority in his research. Additionally, Bett is interested in questions ranging from materials to epitaxial growth, to device and integration into the system and the development of characterization techniques for new solar cell devices.

Bett is currently a professor of "Solar Energy - Materials and Technologies" at the University of Freiburg. He has held this position in the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics since April 2020.

Chris Case advises and supports the Executive team on the development of Oxford PV strategy, particularly with respect to the commercialisation of its technology. Chris serves as Chief Technology Officer at Oxford PV. Previous CTO at BOC (part of Linde) Chris was responsible for the strategy and R&D of an €8bn enterprise, with key experience in the development of the tandem concept, global experience in IP management and business growth.

Chris is a recognized leader in the solar industry, serving on the boards of PVthin and the European Solar Manufacturing Council.

Chris holds an Msc. Engineering from Brown University.
