Prof. dr. Bart Vermang received the M.Sc. degree in physics from the University of Ghent (UGent) and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), both in Belgium. He performed his M.Sc. final research project at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where his interest in renewable energy was triggered. He obtained a Ph.D. for research in silicon PV at Imec – Belgium, followed by 2 personal Postdoctoral fellowships to work on thin film PV. A Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual fellowship to move to the University of Uppsala in Sweden, and a fellowship from the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO) to return to Imec. In 2016, Bart acquired an ERC starting grant and became professor at Hasselt University (UHasselt) in Belgium. Currently he is PV program manager of the PV technology & Energy systems group at imo-imomec (i.e., a joint research institute of UHasselt and imec), and co-leading the underlying “thin film PV technology (TFPV)” team. In addition to actual thin film PV research, there are also initial research activities on Solar Fuels in this team. Bart is a member of the operational Board of EnergyVille, the executive board of imo-imomec, the Belgian Energy Research Alliance (BERA) board, and the editorial board of the Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells journal (Elsevier). He is co-president of the Young Academy of Flanders, and in 2021 he was awarded the Laureate in the Class of Technical Sciences prize by the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and Arts (KVAB). He has also been the coordinator of H2020 projects SWInG and PERCISTAND.
