Dye-sensitized solar cells form a class of low-cost, thin-film based solar cells. Invented by Michael Graetzel and Brian O\u0027Regan at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in 1991, these cells are generally referred to as Graetzel cells. Michael Graetzel was awarded the prestigious 2010 \u003Cem\u003EMillennium Technology Prize\u003C\/em\u003E for the invention of this class of solar cells.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout \u003Cem\u003Ethe Lecture Series\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe Georgia Tech-COPE Distinguished Lecture Series provides the Georgia Tech and Atlanta communities a unique opportunity to interact with world-renowned scientists from across the globe.
