Dr Pau Farràs, University of Galway FlowPhotoChem Coordinator Dr Pau Farràs based at the University of Galway in Ireland took some time to respond to questions about his research interests, the photoelectrochemistry field and the role his group ChemLight (https://www.universityofgalway.ie/chemlight/) plays within the FlowPhotoChem project. How and when did you first become interested in photoelectrochemistry? I have been interested in renewable energy since I finished my undergraduate studies. I did my Erasmus project at DTU (Denmark) on hydrogen storage materials and since then, hydrogen has been on my radar. Then, I learnt about solar energy conversion technologies such as photoelectrochemistry, [...]
