Research interest related to transport at semiconductor interfaces as well as emerging next-generation photoconversion technologies. Understanding semiconductor structure and its relationship to optoelectronic properties at heterointerfaces is an ongoing theme of research work. These interests in fundamental aspects of interfaces have also led to ongoing internal and external collaborations to develop solution-processed materials systems, and closely related efforts on high-throughput approaches to material and device development.
ENVS 3070 - Energy and the Environment
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
Examines contemporary issues in energy consumption and its environmental impact, including fossil fuel use and depletion; nuclear energy and waste disposal; solar, wind, hydroelectric, and other renewable sources; home heating; energy storage; fuel cells; and alternative transportation vehicles. Includes some basic physical concepts and principles that often constrain choices. No background in physics is required. Same as PHYS 3070.
PHYS 2130 - Introduction to Quantum Mechanics and Its Applications
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2024
Learn about a leading edge of physics and engineering along with its applications to much of modern technology. Topics include quantum theory, atomic physics, solid state and nuclear physics. Applications discussed may include special relatively, lasers, diodes/transistors, nuclear energy, quantum computing and encryption. Third semester of introductory sequence for science and engineering students. Physics majors should take PHYS 2170 instead of this course. May be taken concurrently with PHYS 2150.
