William Ahlgren is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering in the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. His degrees are S.B. in Physics (MIT), M.S. in Energy Systems Engineering (University of Arizona), and Ph.D. in Electric Power Engineering with thesis in Materials Science (USC). He has been involved in solar energy development since his undergraduate thesis research on shallow solar ponds for industrial process heat. His subsequent research has included development of photovoltaic devices in both silicon and II-VI materials; photo-electrochemical systems based on metal oxides for solar-assisted hydrogen production and electro-winning of copper; and electrochemical methods for the low-cost production of thin-film photovoltaic devices using II-VI and III-V materials. He is currently focused on the development of high-efficiency electrochemical energy conversion systems to promote the use of renewable energy.
