Postdoctoral Scholars and Research Staff

Carissa Eisler
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Dr. Carissa Nicole Eisler is a postdoc in the Alivisatos group at UC Berkeley. She is currently researching passivation schemes for carrier recombination sites in small (≤ mm2), high efficiency GaAs cells, as well as other III-V compound cells. She has been investigating simple chemical treatments that can passivate exposed edges, making both small cells and larger cells that are damaged improve in performance and durability.

Stefan Fischer
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Dr. Stefan Fischer is a postdoctoral fellow in the Alivisatos Group at UC Berkeley. His current research is focused on photon up- and downconversion using semiconductor and lanthanide nanocrystals as well as photonic concepts to improve their optical properties for solar energy harvesting.

Dr. Soo Jin Kim is a postdoc in the Brongersma Group at Stanford.

Luyao Lu
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Dr. Luyao Lu is a postdoctoral associate in the Rogers research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His current research focuses on the design and fabrication of photometer for measuring neuron activities. He obtained his PhD from University of Chicago for developing high performance organic photovoltaics.
