Rate My Professor Gregory Wilson

Gregory Wilson serves as Adjunct Professor in the School of Engineering within the College of Engineering, Science and Environment at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Concurrently, he is Principal Research Scientist and Science Leader for Advanced Photovoltaics at CSIRO, acting as Principal Investigator for Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices and Solar Cell Materials. Wilson earned his Bachelor of Science in 2000, First Class Honours in 2001, and PhD in 2006 from Queensland University of Technology, focusing on applied electrochemistry and materials science. His professional trajectory encompasses a Lectureship at Griffith University, Postdoctoral Fellowship in High Performance Supercapacitors at CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship, Research Scientist positions at CSIRO Energy Technology in Clayton Laboratories and Newcastle Energy Centre, Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO Energy Technology Newcastle from 2010 to 2015, and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford Department of Physics in 2017.

Wilson's research specializations include solution-processed thin-film photovoltaics, perovskite optoelectronics, solar cell materials, materials chemistry, heterosupramolecular chemistry, photovoltaics, solar cells, nanostructured metal oxides, and photoelectrochemical cells. He is an internationally recognized authority in solution-processed thin-film photovoltaics, with granted patents in perovskite optoelectronics: Australian (2014), US (2018), Chinese and Korean (2020). Notable publications comprise "How reliable are efficiency measurements of perovskite solar cells" (Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2017), "Complementary Passivation for Highly Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells by Gas-quenching" (Cell Reports Physical Science, 2021), "Hindered Formation of Photoinactive δ-FAPbI3 Phase and Hysteresis in Perovskite Solar Cells" (The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2018), and "Device pre-conditioning and steady-state temperature dependence of perovskite solar cells" (Progress in Photovoltaics, 2016). His contributions have driven commercial engagements via Australian Growth Partnerships and FPR Energy Ltd., yielding shareholdings for CSIRO. Honors include Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, 2019), Fellow of the Australian Institute of Energy (FAIE, 2019), Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics (FAIP, 2018), Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (FRACI, 2015), Chartered Chemist (CChem, 2007), QUT Faculty of Science Dean’s Award for Excellence, Queensland Government ‘Growing the Smart State’ Awardee, QUT Faculty of Science and Technology Outstanding Young Alumni of the Year, and CSIRO Office of the Chief Executive Julius Career Awardee in Energy.
