Laboratory for Nanostructured Energy Conversion Devices

by mshtein last modified 12-18-2006 15:12

Laboratory for Nanostructured Energy Conversion Devices (LNECD)

Our laboratory is a highly collaborative research environment, where students and faculty from several different departments participate in the development of novel nanostructured materials, devices, and processing methods, with a strong focus on energy-related topics. The focus is on the solid-state interconversion of light and electricity (organic-based photovoltaic and light-emitting devices), as well as heat and electricity (semiconductor-based thermoelectric devices).

The highly interdisciplinary nature of the research demands a diversified make-up of the laboratory personnel. Thus, LNECD is co-directed by Prof. Shtein (Materials Science and Engineering) and Prof. Pipe (Mechanical Engineering), and is staffed by graduate and undergraduate students from several academic departments, including:

    - Materials Science and Engineering
       Yiying Zhao
       Shuo Chen
       Chelsea Haughn
    - Mechanical Engineering
       Kwang-Hyup An
       Brendan O'Connor
       Abishek Yadav
       K.L. "Paddy" Chan
    - Electrical Engineering
       Andrea Bianchini
       William Loh
    - Chemical Engineering
       Peter Burgardt
    - Macromolecular Science and Engineering
       Chelsea Chen
    - Physics
       Jingjing Li

The research facilities include thin-film deposition equipment, thin-film and optoelectronic device characterization tools, and high-resolution optical and topographical microscopy instruments. We are actively constructing novel materials purification and processing equipment.

Stay tuned for regular updates.
