Profile
Professor Carnie's research broadly encompasses Energy Materials & Devices, focusing on Photovoltaic Applications, Materials and Device Characterization, and Thermoelectrics. Professor Carnie led Swansea's "Materials-Hub" under the WEFO-funded SPARC II project, SPECIFIC-IKC (EP/N020863/1), and Sêr Solar programs.
His research focuses on solution-processed photovoltaic materials and device physics. Utilizing techniques such as Intensity Modulated Photovoltage Spectroscopy (IMVS) and Transient Photovoltage (TPV) Decay, his PV research team characterizes carrier transport, recombination, and mobility in photovoltaic devices. Professor Carnie led SPECIFIC's research in novel solution-processable thermoelectric materials and devices, specifically organic and hybrid materials. Notable contributions include their work on SnSe thermoelectric generators published in Advanced Energy Materials, as well as a review article on printed thermoelectrics in Advanced Materials.
Professor Matt Carnie, Swansea UniversityThe landscapes of Cymru are as wild and beautiful as its people are warm and welcoming. I have always been passionate about promoting Wales as a destination for conferences, and I am excited to be working with the Ambassadors Wales Conference Programme to showcase our outstanding venues and bring major international events to our nation."
