Alejandro Datas
Dr. Alejandro Datas graduated in Electrical Engineering in 2004 and doctorate by Technical University of Madrid, Spain, in 2011. He was a visiting PhD student at MIT (United States), postdoctoral researcher at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan), Technical University of Catalonia (Spain), and Technical University of Madrid (Spain). His entire scientific carrier has been devoted to research in high-temperature thermo-photovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion, covering from fundamentals to the fabrication and characterization of fully integrated systems. He is currently Assistant Professor at Technical University of Madrid, Spain, and Senior Scientist at the Solar Energy Institute in the same University. From 2017 to 2019 he was the scientific coordinator of the EU-funded project “AMADEUS” (2017–2019), which developed novel materials and solid-state devices enabling energy storage and conversion at temperatures higher than 1000°C. He has been also the organizer of the first international workshop on ultra-high temperature energy storage, transfer, and conversion; precursor of this book.
