Dr. Chithiravel Sundaresan
PhD - 2023
Chithiravel Sundaresan (Chithi) obtained his M.Sc in Physics from Bharathiar University, India, in 2012. After working for four years as a project assistant at the National Chemical Laboratory, India, in September 2018, he joined the LRG as a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Benoit Lessard at the University of Ottawa and Dr. Salima Alem at the National Research Council of Canada. Chithi’s research focused on organic photovoltaic device engineering and large-scale printing/coating technology toward commercialization
