Martin Green is Scientia Professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney and Founding Director of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, involving several other Australian Universities and research groups. His group's contributions to photovoltaics are well known and include holding the record for silicon solar cell efficiency for 3 of the last 4 decades, described as one of the “Top Ten” Milestones in the history of solar photovoltaics. The PERC and TOPCon solar cells that he invented in the 1980s and his team developed now account over 90% of worldwide silicon solar module production. Major international awards include the 1999 Australia Prize, the 2002 Right Livelihood Award, also known as the Alternative Nobel Prize, the 2007 SolarWorld Einstein Award, the 2016 Ian Wark Medal from the Australian Academy of Science, the prestigious Global Energy Prize in 2018, the 2021 Japan Prize, the 2022 Millennium Technology Prize and, with three former students, the 2023 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering.
