Born1963 (age 59–60)
NationalityAmerican
Known forPioneering work on silicon, photovoltaics, and renewable energy
Awardsforeign member of the Latvian Academy of Sciences; U.S. patents 8,239,165; 7,601,215; 8,389,422; 8,466,447; 8,569,708

Currently he is the principal scientist and a project leader of the silicon photovoltaics group at NREL.[4] He leads a team that recently theorized that defects in photovoltaic cells could actually improve the performance of those cells.[5]

He is the grandson of Pauls Stradiņš (17 January 1896 – 14 August 1958), a Latvian professor, physician, and surgeon[6] who founded the Museum of the History of Medicine in Riga and whose image appears on a Latvian postage stamp and for whom hospitals and medical schools were named.
