Sheffield based highlights from the CDT include the successful training of 10 PhD Sheffield based students in the departments of Physics and Chemical and Biological Engineering going on to work in a broad range of sectors including industrial research, university teaching and research and commercial data science. They published dozens of research publications and gave many conference presentations. The CDT-PV students and staff attended and helped run the highly successful Multi-CDT Conference on Clean Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure which was hosted in Sheffield in 2022. Sheffield PhD students participated in the UKRI Policy Internship scheme and placements with photovoltaics industry partners. Alan Dunbar from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering was the Academic Director of the CDT-PV 2021-2024.
