Dr. Yoon’s proposal entitled, “CAREER: Optoelectronic Local Probes Measuring Microstructural Degradation and Recovery Under Accelerated Environmental Stressors”, has been selected for a prestigious NSF CAREER award. She will receive about $590,000 next five years (see more information on the ECE website; here). We are excited about this new project!

2021 02 Olivia’s Presentation (Video Clip)
We are proud of Olivia for presenting her research project to Utah’s legislators (https://our.utah.edu/events/roch-2021/). Specifically, she gives her presentation to Sen. Scott Sandall. We thank Kaden Powell (grad student) for his ample support and mentorship to Olivia. Way to go!
2021 01 Submission of Two EMC Papers
Kaden and Yu-Lin have submitted two papers (CdTe, Perovskite PVs) to the 63th Electronic Materials Conference (https://www.mrs.org/63rd-emc). Thank you for continuing dedication to the projects. Great achievements!
2021 01 Dr. Yoon teaches ECE 3200 in IVC.
Welcome back, students!
We continue our online classes in Spring 2021. Dr. Yoon teaches a junior-level core course (ECE 3200: Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics) in IVC (Interactive Video Class). The class materials are provided via Zoom meetings, recorded lectures, and online video clips (https://utah.instructure.com). We will also perform online simulations. TA (Mr. Shaun McKellar) and Dr. Yoon are fully supporting students in their learning in this challenging time. We will go through it together.

2020 12 Research Discussion with legislators (Congratulations, Olivia!)
Our undergraduate researcher, Olivia, has been selected to represent the U.Utah to discuss her research with Utah legislators in February 2021. https://our.utah.edu/events/roch-2021/
Olivia is currently working with Kaden to design and fabricate a prototype 3D apparatus for PV measurements (size: 20 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm). She intends to make an advanced test structure for thin-film solar cells. The Department of Energy sponsors this work. Her story is posted in the ECE Website (here).
Also, Olivia has been awarded a UROP grant for Spring 2021 https://our.utah.edu/urop/. Nice job!
