Colin Bailie, Ph.D.

Colin Bailie holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University. During his time at Stanford, he performed seminal research on a new class of solar panel technology – perovskite-based tandems, which have the ability to substantially improve the power output of current solar panels being manufactured. He since started the company Tandem PV with his co-founder Chris Eberspacher to turn this academic breakthrough into commercial reality. Tandem PV was born out of Cyclotron Road, an entrepreneurial fellowship program based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
