The team’s efforts in the development of a hybrid solar energy converter, which generates both electricity and steam with high efficiency (up to 85%), continue with the relocation of our testbed from San Diego to New Orleans. As part of the pilot demonstration of our... Apr 21, 2023
Matt and Sid gave talks on switchable metasurfaces and metalenses using phase change materials and Tim and Aamir presented posters on 2D materials for high specific power photovoltaics at MRS in San Francisco, Ca from April 10-14, 2023. The title of the talks were:... Nov 22, 2022
The group had an amazing day for the Fall 2022 group retreat. It started off with a Vietnamese lunch at Thanh Lien Kitchen, followed by a trip to A Studio in the Woods (ASITW), located along the Mississippi river in Bulbancha/New Orleans. There, we dove into several... Aug 31, 2022
Isaac Oguntoye has successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on August 29, 2022. The title of his dissertation is “Dynamically Tunable Dielectric Huygens Metasurfaces: An Emerging Framework for Actively Reconfigurable Photonic Devices”. Congratulations, Dr. Isaac... May 21, 2022
Dr. Kazi Islam and our team published a paper on large-area, high-specific-power 2D MoS2 based Schottky-junction photovoltaics. The work is the first to demonstration the use of large-area CVD grown MoS2 films as the main absorber in photovoltaic devices.... May 10, 2022
Will Skelton and Dr. Yaping Ji published their paper on the design and field testing of a hybrid concentrator photovoltaic-thermal system that collects a portion of the incoming sunlight using triple-junction CPV cells and generates high temperature thermal output in... Mar 23, 2022
Isaac Oguntoye and Brittany Simone published their paper on biomarker detection and bulk refractive index sensing using a compact and inexpensive refractive index sensor based on resonant dielectric photonic nanoantenna arrays. The sensor shows sensitivity to 1.9 ×... Jul 27, 2021
Dr. Adam Ollanik published his paper on resonance tuning using dynamic Huygens metasurfaces. The paper describes the use of dielectric Huygens metasurfaces supporting electric and magnetic dipole resonances in dynamic tuning and discusses the use of dynamic materials... Feb 22, 2021
Dr. Yaping Ji and Luke Artzt published their paper as joint first authors on a hybrid concentrator photovoltaic-thermal system that can cogenerate electricity and heat by concentrating light onto photovoltaic cells and a high temperature thermal receiver.
