Richard King
Professor
Electrical Engineering
Research Interests
Defect-tolerant photovoltaic materials, materials for low-cost multijunction solar cells, carrier-selective contacts, recombination at semiconductor interfaces, layered van der Waals materials and devices, single-photon emission from nanostructured 2D materials, entangled photon-pair emission, metasurface photonic resonators, electromagnetic simulation of nanostructure arrays.
Sandhya Susarla
Assistant Professor
Materials Science and Engineering
Research Interests
The interplay between spin, charge, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom drive novel electronic and magnetic behavior in low-power microelectronic devices and quantum computers. Susarla group uses state-of-the-art analytical electron microscopy tools (4D-STEM and EELS) to unravel this relationship at the atomic scale.
Sefaattin Tongay
Professor
Materials science and engineering
Research Interests
Tongay’s research focuses on synthesis of next generation low-dimensional materials and understanding their optical, electrical, mechanical, and magnetic properties using state-of-art experimental and theoretical techniques.
