Dyesol is pleased to announce that it has appointed Dr. Gavin Tulloch to the Board of Directors. Dr. Tulloch was formerly managing director – global and has spent his time more recently focusing on key technical projects, including the Tata Steel (Corus) Dyesol PV Accelerator in the U.K. His new company title is director of technology.

Executive chairman Richard Caldwell welcomed Dr. Tulloch’s re-appointment to the board as the company prepares itself for full commercialization of its PV technology.

“It has become abundantly clear that we require Dr. Tulloch’s board presence, especially in relation to direction on the Tata project which is now bearing the fruit of the intense R&D that has been jointly undertaken over the past three years. He will also provide valuable guidance in newer projects, such as DyeTec Solar Inc. which is poised to advance significantly during 2011.”

Dr. Tulloch holds a PhD in solid state materials science, is a companion of the Institute of Engineers and a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

He jointly founded Dyesol and its predecessors STA and STI, and has led the industrialization of DSC for the past 16 years.
