Dr Agbaoye Ridwan Olamide has a research interest in Computational studies of Semiconductor materials for solar cell application. In most of his research, he conducts Density Functional Theory (DFT), Many-Body perturbation Theory (MBPT), and Time-Dependent Density Functional Perturbation Theory (TDDFPT), to determine the structural, electronic, mechanical, thermoelectric, and optical properties of materials. His interest in research for solar cell materials is borne out of the challenge of lack of affordable electricity in most parts of Africa when we have abundant solar irradiation in our region. He believes that Africa can explore the existing materials or create new materials with high power conversion efficiency to provide affordable electricity for all.
