Our interest in this theme is the computational study and modeling of materials that have potential for photovoltaic and nanophotonic systems. Various projects in this theme include:
Affiliated faculty: Dr. Redwan N. Sajjad, Dr. Md. Abdullah Zubair
- Optical simulation of heterostructure, thin film photovoltaic systems and how the choice of individual layers affect the overall transparency, absorption and energy conversion.
- System level reliability study of solar cells through optical characterization and simulation.
- First principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations for electronic structure calculations for potential solar materials.
- Application of machine learning techniques for high throughput materials discovery - an approach that has received significant attention in recent times for efficient material discovery for a specific material property with a specific application.
