Engineering Department Manager
Brilliant Matters
Canada
Brilliant Matters seeks Alberta partners to scale and validate organic photovoltaics: lightweight, flexible solar technology suited to surfaces where conventional PV is impractical, with industrial-scale manufacturing and durability still to validate.
I am a materials scientist and engineering manager with over 15 years of experience in organic electronics and emerging photovoltaic technologies, spanning academic research and industrial development in Europe, Japan and Canada.
Before joining Brilliant Matters, I spent more than a decade conducting and leading research in Japan, including as an Associate Professor, with a strong focus on organic photovoltaics, thin-film processing and sustainable manufacturing.
At Brilliant Matters, I lead engineering activities around printed electronics and work at the interface between R&D, industrial scale-up and business development. A major focus of my current work is building collaborations with companies, research institutes and universities to bring next-generation OPV and other printed electronic technologies from the laboratory toward industrial manufacturing and real-world applications.
Additional questions
I am interested in the following CETPartnership thematic areas:
Project cooperation
flexible, lightweight and semitransparent next gen PV panels
Scale up manufacturing and validate flexible, lightweight and semitransparent next-generation OPV panels, advancing the technology to higher TRLs and enabling solar integration on surfaces where conventional PV is impractical.
