Sid Padmanabha successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Engineering Light Across Scales: Reconfigurable Metasurfaces and Solar Electric-Thermal Cogeneration Systems”. Congrats to Dr. Sid on his hooding and...
Congrats to our Flower Power team for winning best Engineering Physics capstone project! Anna Walker, Conor Farnan, Corey Hart, Matt Graf, and Miriam Lerner all did a tremendous job this year advancing our solar cogeneration pilot project on the roof of Flower Hall,...
Matt, Aamir, and Abdulhafeez attended the MRS meeting in Seattle, Washington, from April 7-11, 2025, where Aamir gave a talk on the potential of stacked CVD-grown MoS2 monolayers as high-specific-power photovoltaics for space applications. At the same time,...
Dr Ismael and the team published a paper on large-area CVD-grown monolayer MoS2-based flexible photovoltaic devices on ultrathin 3 μm polyimide films for space structures. A subnanometer-thick single MoS2 monolayer absorber characterized under 1 sun AM0 illumination...
Timothy Ismael has successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on April 29, 2024. The title of his dissertation is “Two-Dimensional Materials-Based Photovoltaics for High Specific Power Applications.” Congratulations, Dr. Timothy...
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...
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:...
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...
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...
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....
