The gift will support the work of Professor Henry Snaith, one the department’s leading experts in photovoltaics. Professor Snaith will be titled the Binks Professor of Renewable Energy in recognition of this generous donation. In addition, the trust will also fund a DPhil scholarship for a student working in the field of photovoltaic research, and a biennial workshop focused on renewable energy. ‘I am absolutely delighted that we have received such a generous gift from the Binks Trust towards this strategically important area of research,’ said Professor Ian Shipsey, Head of the Department of Physics. ‘I am extremely grateful to the Binks Trust for its support,’ said Professor Snaith.
