Stefan Nowak is an experimental physicist by training with a PhD from Fribourg University and EPFL, Switzerland. His academic research activities covered thermonuclear fusion, plasma and surface physics as well as thin films. His biography is characterised by a continuous evolution from research to technology management involving aspects of advanced research in different areas of energy, materials and processing. He has a broad technological expertise with complementary experience in communication, technology management and policy. Stefan has been working in renewable energy and energy efficiency for more than 25 years with a particular focus and expertise in photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity. Covering the full PV value chain from research to the market, including policy and communication, he is an expert and advisor to many different national and international organisations. 20 years ago, he founded NET Nowak Energy & Technology Ldt., a consultancy specialized in renewable energy, energy and resource efficiency. Stefan serves as a program manager for the Swiss PV RTD programme, coordinator of various PV related EU projects with more than 20 EU ministries and agencies (http://www.solar-era.net) as well as chairman of the International Energy Agency’s photovoltaic technology cooperation programme (IEA PVPS, http://www.iea-pvps.org), one of the largest of its kind within the IEA. The responsibility for this programme over the past 15 years has led to a large network, numerous contacts, experiences and travels related to PV technology and deployment in all 5 continents.
