University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Professor of Physics, 2002--
Associate Professor of Physics,
1999--
Assistant Professor of Physics, 1996--1999
·
Established
an internationally recognized strong program in amorphous silicon (a-Si)
photovoltaic (PV) materials research and device fabrication. My research group
is currently the only academic group,
in the US, which has fabricated high-efficiency (12.7%) a-Si solar cell devices
with advanced triple-junction structure.
·
Written
numerous proposals. Received 10 grant awards, as PI/Co-PI, with a total funding
of $1,865,862.
·
Taught a
variety of courses and one of the best teaching evaluations.
·
Directed
research of 5 undergraduates, 3 M.S. students, 2 Ph.D students, and 3 postdocs.
·
Serving
as Chairman of UT University Patent Committee, which is responsible for the
University’s intellectual properties.

·
Created
and managed ECD's Photovoltaic Development
Group to conduct research on advanced a-Si based materials/devices with the
objective of further improving the efficiency of triple-junction a-Si alloy
solar cells. Developed new solar cell device designs and process techniques.
Achieved world record for open circuit voltage for single-junction a-Si solar
cells.
