Research interests

Fundementally, my research is dedicated to the study of the conversion of radiation into thermal energy and the interaction of radiation with geometrical structures. The key application in focus is the conversion of concentrated solar radiation into useful energy in Concenterated Solar Power (CSP) systems.
