Robert Taylor is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and in the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, Sydney, Australia. Professor Taylor's main research interest is in the development of solar-power desalination systems and 'next generation' solar thermal collectors. Drawing on the fields of heat transfer and nanotechnology, he is researching new/novel working fluids and materials for solar systems. In essence, the main goal of his research is to provide a more efficient or more economic coupling between solar energy and useful thermal and/or electrical energy. Professor Taylor has published more than 150 peer reviewed articles in prestigious journals and serving as a potential reviewer in several international journals. See less
