Yoon Research Group (ECE, University of Utah)
Our Collaborative work with NIST and NRL is presented in an ACS paper.
“Unveiling Defect-Mediated Charge-Carrier Recombination at the Nanometer Scale in Polycrystalline Solar Cells”, Yohan Yoon, Wei-Chang D. Yang*, Dongheon Ha, Paul M. Haney, Daniel Hirsch, Heayoung P. Yoon, Renu Sharma, and Nikolai B. Zhitenev, ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2019, 11, 50, 47037–47046 (2019); https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsami.9b14730
Here is “The Team”, leading the NanoEngineering Group. We are grateful to have each other in the team to implement the bold ideas in the field of Nano/Micro Materials and Devices.

A manuscript worked with NIST collaborators is accepted at ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
Dr. Yoon’s two grant proposals were selected for the DOE fundings (Small Innovative Projects in Solar, Department of Energy) . We are excited about this opportunity to make solar more affordable and accessible through our research work.
Kaden Powell joins the group. We sincerely welcome our new team member!
We are seeking for talented PhD students (full financial supports are available) for the areas below.
1. 3D microstructured optoelectronic devices: fabrication & optical and electrical measurements
2. Flexible optoelectronic sensors: design, fabrication, and characterizations
Successful candidates would have a MS degree in engineering or related field (e.g., physics, chemistry) and are a team player. We encourage applicants, who can fully dedicate to their projects.
Please send an email to Dr. Yoon (heayoung.yoon@utah.edu) including three PDF files: resume, phone/email information of two references, and research statement. The statement should describe (i) why you want to join our group, and (ii) how you can contribute to our group.
David, Dr. Aguiar, and Dr. Yoon present the development of lightweight and flexible CdTe PVs at the M&M conference (Portland, OR).
David’s paper is selected as cover for Advanced Materials Interfaces. Congratulations, David.
We welcome Dinorah Segovia, a senior undergrad student in the ECE Department. She will be working on micro/nanowires for photonic devices. Welcome!
