Advanced Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Health Applications
We are delighted to have the school’s staff and students in the Clean Energy lab at Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL) on 27-28th of April 2023. Research students from Sri Lanka & India demonstrated their research work and prototype models about solar cells, Hydrogen production materials, supercapacitors, and CO2 adsorption. Staff and students were pleasant after participating in this lab visit.
The Christie Conference was established in 2010 and aims to be UiB’s most important meeting place between research, politics, administration, culture, society, and business. Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai is also going to contribute to the depth, discussion, and debate at this conference. The session is going to be held on 25th April 2023 at 9.45 am.
We are elated to have Norway’s Research and Higher Education Minister Hon. Ola Borten Moe and deputy minister Oddmund L. Hoel to Clean Energy lab at Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL). Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai conferred few top notched research work supported by NORPART and UTFORSK.
Great day! We, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) had immense pleasure to have our former Prime Minister Erna Solberg, former Minister for Development Dag-Inge Ulstein and the Director of Norad, Bård Vegard Sollie to attend a discussion panel on Global climate change – threats, challenges and opportunities. We at HVL are so inspired by their presence at our Bergen campus and are so delighted to showcast our prototypes of emerging solar cells, Hydrogen production materials, supercapacitors and CO2 adsorbing materials. Our research scholars from Sri Lanka and India are overjoyed by the response from highly respected personalities.
Dhayalan Velauthapillai, professor of physics, Western Norway University of applied sciences will participate in a conversation with an emphasis on why access to renewable energy is crucial for creating sustainable development, jobs, tax revenues and thus economic and social development in various parts of the world. Former Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, Director of Norad Bård Vegard Solhjell, former minister Dag Inge Ulsteinvik and Ruth Emilie Skjærvik will also be participating in the discussion. The event will be held on 16th march at 08:15-09:00 am at K2 building, HVL.

Students from Anceha research group demonstrated their ongoing research activities on materials and technologies for hydrogen production through water splitting, perovskite solar cell, super capacitor, luminescent solar concentrator, dye sensitized solar cells for the High School students. After the demonstrations, the minister of Norway also visited the clean energy research lab at HVL to see the ongoing research activity.
Recently an article appeared on the forskning.no website. The article highlighted the ongoing research activities carried out by Professor Dhayalan Velauthapillai and his research team at the HVL laboratory in Bergen. It focused on research on new nanomaterials for solar cells, hydrogen, and energy storage. For full article https://forskning.no/energi-
The R&D award aims to stimulate further development of the quality of research, increase the acquisition of external funding and international recognition. This year’s award went to Dhayalan Velauthapillai, professor at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. The jury emphasizes that Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai has a large number of international co-publications and is high on the list of the most publishing researchers in Norway. His work to build and develop a professional environment and the ability to collaborate internally and externally, nationally and internationally, contributes to strengthening HVL’s international research and educational collaboration making Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai a good ambassador for HVL.

We, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) are proud to be part of the FME research center for Hydrogen, HyValue, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. An article appeared in the popular norwegian technical magazine Teknisk Ukeblad on our Hydrogen related research activities connected to the HyValue center.
Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai is listed seventh in the Forskerforum indicator report. His research focuses on nanomaterials for new types of solar cells, hydrogen production and energy storage. As the head of the research group on Advanced Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Health Applications, he highlighted the international collaboration and the support from the faculty as important reasons for the high publication points.
– I have a broad international collaboration and supervise many PhD students who come here to Norway to work on their research projects. All this helped the publishing speed. I have to thank the entire management at the institute, the faculty and the top management who have supported me the whole time. It gives me motivation in my work.
