research is ... A. boring or B. game-changing
Question:
Are there opportunities for graduate students (mostly PhDs) who use orstudy light (formally optics and photonics) in our research to do what
you write/speak about? Answer: Overwhelming opportunity in the public and private sector for careers
researching (and creating) disruptive solar energy technologies. The opportunities? Private sector: Check out what some of the companies "on the edge" are up to: http://www.greentechmedia.com/green-light/post/150-solar-start-ups-revisited-...
Google, through their RE<C project, is another great resource:

(http://www.energy.gov/energysources/solar.htm) or university
