Summary
Professor Dharmadasa (Dharme) is a Senior Staff Grade Professor in Electronic Materials and Devices. He joined Sheffield Hallam University as a Senior Lecturer in August 1990. Dharme's research is focused on solar energy conversion, and he has over 37 years of experience in both industry and academia. He has published over 250 articles including 6 patents and a single authored book on 'Advances in Thin Film Solar Cells'.
Dharme is also a promoter of renewable applications in society. The theme of his work is to use clean energy for sustainable development and poverty reduction. He coordinated a British Council managed and DFID funded HE-Link in the 1990s, and this led to an evolution of a 'Solar-Village' project in order to empower rural communities.

About
Dharme is the Head of Electronic Materials & Sensors Group within the Materials and Engineering Research Institute. His research focuses on the development of next generation, low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells. He has nearly four decades of experience in both industry and academia and his work has secured six patents, based on novel process developments. He has also proposed two new scientific models concerning development of photovoltaic solar cells. During his career he has successfully supervised 22 PhDs, 14 years of postdoctoral research and examined 26 postgraduate candidates.
Earlier in his career, Dharme graduated from University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka by completing two BSc Honours degrees covering Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. He won the Dr. Hewavitharana memorial prize for best performance for his Physics Special Degree in 1975, and joined the academic staff of the Physics Department at University of Peradeniya. After winning an open commonwealth scholarship in 1977, he completed his PhD thesis in 1980 at University of Durham, before returning to his post in Sri Lanka. A deep research interest generated by his PhD thesis led his return to the UK in 1984, where he carried out active research at University College Cardiff and the British Petroleum Company, before joining SHU in 1990.
Dharme is actively involved in the promotion of clean energy for social development and reduction of poverty. He has designed, piloted and monitored "Solar Village" project, and this is now in the replication stage within and outside Sri Lanka. He is a Fellow of the World Innovation Foundation and the Institute of Physics, UK. He referees for over 14 Journals and one of the Editors of J. of Materials; Materials in Electronics. He currently serves as Assessor/panel member for The European Commission and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission. In the past he has served as an Assessor/panel member for the EPSRC, DTI and the British Council for a period of 6-years each. Dharme is one of the founding members of the APSL-UK charity and has served as the Vice President for 5 years and the President for two years (2009-2011). Now he is serving as a senior adviser within the Ex-Co of APSL-UK charity organisation.
Dharme's duties within the University include Teaching, Research and Scholarly Activities. He teaches various courses within Electronic Engineering and carries out active research within MERI in electronic materials and electronic devices. His current focus is on solar energy conversion with new device structures. He is currently developing next generation solar cells using graded bandgap device structures which he designed and experimentally tested in 2005. Dharme is also actively working to take solar energy technology from laboratory to the society through the "Solar Village" projects.

Dharme's research programme aims to develop next generation solar cells based on electrodeposited semiconductors and graded bandgap device architectures. The work involves thin film materials deposition (CdS, ZnS, ZnTe, ZnSe, GaSe, InSe, CdSe, CdTe, CdMnTe etc.), material characterisation (XRD, SEM, EDAX, PEC, XRF, Raman, Hall-Effect, Optical Absorption, Film Thickness measurements etc.), device fabrication & assessment (I-V, C-V, Responsivity measurements, monitoring stability, lifetime, uniformity & yield) and scaling up of thin film solar cells. In this work, PhD candidates will use a selected number of materials when the candidate joins the group according to the requirements of the time, electroplate materials, use a wide range of modern analytical techniques to characterise layers & optimise growth conditions, and work with an active research Team. The work will mainly concentrate on doping of materials to achieve high efficiencies for the II-VI semiconductors based solar cells. The current lab-scale efficiency achieved is 15.3%, and the efforts are to achieve highest possible values from these materials. The solar cell sizes will also been scaled up achieving high efficiencies, and their stability, reproducibility and yield will be monitored.
New candidates joining the group will also learn and experience Renewable Energy applications for sustainable development, in particular the "Solar Village" programme designed, piloted and monitored by Dharme. This project has now entered into the replication stage.
