Profiles in "Thin Film Materials" Expertise Area

  • Ankit's group specializes in the development and application of mesoscopic modeling approaches and their integration with continuum approaches for fundamental and applied research in microstructure science and engineering.
  • Gutierrez is an expert in obtaining structural and chemical information in complex materials from aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
  • Song's research interest includes advanced composite materials (AMCs) and advanced manufacturing (AM).
  • Milcarek's current research focuses on micro-tubular Flame-assisted Fuel Cells (FFCs) and system-level hybrid combustion/FFC applications including micro cogeneration and two-stage combustors.
  • Nick's research group focuses on developing next-generation renewable energy devices—with a focus on printable thin-film photovoltaics and batteries—using high-throughput processing and reliability-based characterization.
  • Susarla joined ASU in fall 2022. She has expertise in the area of electron microscopy where explores the structure-property relationship in quantum and semiconducting materials.
