Teknologi Digital dan Terkehadapan,
Dr. Puvaneswaran Chelvanathan is a Senior Lecturer at the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). After the higher secondary education, he received the Malaysian Public Service scholarship to study microelectronic engineering, where he got B.Eng (2009) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Masters (2012) and PhD (2016) from the same institute. He has been working on thin film solar cell science and technology since 2008. He is primary research focus is on developing low-cost, high-scalable thin film solar photovoltaic technology for terawatt deployment.
