The mission of the Photovoltaic Research Laboratory is to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies, and photovoltaics in particular, via breakthroughs in efficiency, cost reduction, de-bottlenecking, and efficient materials utilization. We synthesize and characterize commercial and next-generation photovoltaic materials and devices, engineering low-cost, naturally abundant, and manufacturable materials into defect-tolerant, high-efficiency devices. We invite you to explore our current research and available positions.
