Henry J. Snaith
Henry James Snaith is a British physicist.
Snaith attended Gresham's School in Norfolk until 1996 and then studied physics at Bristol University and Cambridge University , where he received his PhD in 2005 from Richard Friend with a dissertation on polymer solar cells. He then worked as a post-doctoral student with Michael Graetzel at EPFL in Lausanne and, from 2006, a Junior Research Fellow at Clare College at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. He is a professor of physics at the Clarendon Laboratory of Oxford University .
He developed new materials in photovoltaics , in particular solar cells made from thin films of metal halide perovskites , with which he achieved a breakthrough in terms of efficiency (efficiency, ease of processing). In 2010 he was a co-founder of Oxford Photovoltaics.
Snaith is a Fellow of the Royal Society (2015). He received the Institute of Physics' Patterson Medal in 2012. In 2017 he was one of the highly cited scholars of the Clarivate Citation Laureates .
