Quantum Nanostructures for Energy Conversion

Roy Clarke

Center for Solar and Thermal Energy Conversion, University of Michigan Ann Arbor,  MI

Nanotechnology has the potential for revolutionary advances in many areas of societal need, from health care to energy applications including solid state lighting and electrical power conversion. The promise of this field can only be fully realized if researchers are able to understand and control the behavior of electrons at the atomic level. Recent progress towards this goal has been rapid and far-reaching. Some examples will be described in the context of extraordinary new capabilities in quantum nanostructure fabrication and energy harvesting applications. .

Bio of Prof. Clarke:

Roy Clarke is a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.  He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Queen Mary College, University of London, UK,  was a Wolfson Fellow at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge,  and James Franck Fellow at the University of Chicago.  He was the founding director of the UM Applied Physics Program and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.   His current research interests focus on the structure and dynamics of epitaxial electronic materials, including semiconductors, magnetic films and complex oxides. He has also been active in entrepreneurial activities. One company he helped to create, k-Space Associates Inc.,  provides  metrology instrumentation to the semiconductor industry for in-situ, real-time monitoring of electronic device processing.
