Faur has a BS and Master's Degree in Nuclear Physics from Cluj
University and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the Bucharest
University, both in Romania. After over 27 years of R&D, Dr. Faur has
accumulated extensive expertise in various materials science areas. He
has published over 120 papers in journals and conference proceedings, and
holds 25 patents mostly in semiconductor materials
and devices areas. He taught Physics, Energy Conversion and Electrical
Engineering courses, and was involved with training engineering students
in semiconductor device design and manufacturing.
Prior to coming to
the US, from1972 to 1977 he was a research scientist at the Research
Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFA), Energy Conversion
Laboratory, and from 1977 to 1983 at the Electrical Engineering Research
Institute (ICPE), Solar and Wind Electric Energy Conversion Laboratory,
both in Bucharest, Romania. From 1977 to 1980 he was a member of the
management team of the Romanian national program on Solar Energy, and
from 1980 to 1983 he was the research director of the Romanian national
program," Solar and Wind Electric Systems with Storage in Hydrogen."
From November 1983 to February 1984 he worked under a UN fellowship at
the ESAT group at Leuven University in Belgium in Solar Photovoltaics
R&D. From January 1986 to December 1998 he was a Senior Research
Associate with the NASA LeRC's sponsored "Space Photovoltaic Research
Center" at Cleveland State University.
From
June1995 to December 1996 he was the R&D Manager of a start-up company,
PhotoVolt, Inc. Pending capital availability, PhotoVolt will establish a
high intensity vertical multi-junction (VMJ) solar cell production
facility at the Cleveland State University's Advanced Manufacturing
Center. Since December 1995 he is the R&D VP and senior research
scientist at SPECMAT, Inc.
