About the authors
Wayne Cranton is a Professor of Visual Technology at Sheffield Hallam University, and Assistant Dean, Research and Business Development for the Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Sciences. His research is concerned with the study of thin film materials for electronic devices, displays, sensors, and light emitting devices. This has involved a number of collaborative applied research and development programmes on the deposition and processing of light emitting materials, dielectrics, and metal oxide semiconductors, with recent emphasis on the localised photonic processing of materials for low temperature fabrication of flexible electronics and displays. Much of Wayne’s work builds from the development of techniques to fabricate and process materials for electroluminescent displays, optimising electro-optical functionality through deposition and laser processing. As a founding partner of the DisplayMasters Inter-University Programme in the UK, Wayne was part of the team that brought together display experts and students from around the globe, and which became the catalyst for the collaborations resulting in the Springer Handbook of Visual Display Technology. Professor Cranton has published over 50 articles on the physics and engineering of materials for electronic device applications.
I. M. Dharmadasa is a Senior Staff Grade Professor of Electronic Materials and Devices at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK and Head of the Electronic Materials & Sensors Research Group. He graduated from the Univ. of Peradeniya in 1972, and completed his PhD thesis during 1977-1980 at the Univ. of Durham after winning an open C/W scholarship. After working as a lecturer at Peradeniya, he returned to the UK in 1984 due to his deep research interest in solar energy conversion, and worked at Univ. College Cardiff and the British Petroleum Company (BP), before joining Sheffield Hallam University in 1990. He has published over 200 scientific articles in addition to a single authored book on "Advances in Thin Film Solar Cells" andsix patents. He is currently serving in the academic advisors' panel of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK, and solar energy panel at the European Commission.
