Dr. Yoon and David visited Bryant Middle School (Salt Lake City, UT) and gave a talk on “Small Things (nanoscale)”. We thank Amy in the College of Engineering at the University of Utah and Principal Smith for organizing the time. Hope to meet the middle school students again soon.
News
2019 04 Katrina gives a presentation at the ACCESS Research Symposium.
Katrina (first year undergraduate student) has been working with David to create a suitable testing apparatus for outdoor PV characterizations. She designed the structure using SolidWorks and fabricated it using a 3D printer. She also performed the PV measurements using this apparatus.
2019 04 I would say… (Technical Open-House)
Every year, the ECE Department organizes the Technical Open-House (see details) for undergraduate students. Dr. Yoon encourages students in her class (ECE 3200: Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics) to attend this exciting event. Here are some reviews from the students attending the Technical Open-House this year.
The presenters were knowledgeable, confident, and concise. Their use of a large screen to step through the presentation provided clarity and good flow. I appreciated that they took the time to understand the level of understanding their audience would have and broke down highly technical items into bite-sized pieces of information

2019 03 Expecting Oral Presentations at EMC (Electronic Materials Conference)
Two papers were accepted for oral presentation at EMC in June 2019. Good job, David and Erfan!
2019 01 Welcome Katrina!
We welcome Katrina Le, a first-year undergrad student (ACCESS Program). She will be working with David to run photovoltaic measurements outside.
2019 01 Invention Disclosure by David and Dr. Yoon.
David and Dr. Yoon have filed an invention discloser related to free-standing optoelectronic thin-film materials. David’s persistence made this happen. Thank you, David!
2018 12 Poster Presentation (eMicroscopy class)
Graduate students in the ECE 6960-006 (eMicroscopy) gave a poster presentation, a part of final project. This interdisciplinary course provides the fundamental knowledge about the (scanning) electron microscopy and the practical lab sessions at the Utah’s Nanofab. The poster session was open to public. Students, thank you for all your hard work!

2018 12 Army Research Lab visits the U.
The Army Research Lab visited the University of Utah. Dr. Yoon and David attended the technical sessions and provided a lab tour to the program managers. We also discussed the recent development on integrated solar cells.
2018 10 CdTe PV Workshop in Toledo, OH
Dr. Yoon attended the 2nd PV workshop and gave two talks. The focus of the workshop is to initiate a closer research community and identification of opportunities for collaborative research, specifically in CdTe.
2018 09 Popular SEM demo by David (Global Class Program)
We welcome Neugju high-school students visiting the University of Utah (Global Engagement Program). David Magginetti (PhD student in Yoon’s group) gave a brief introduction and a demo on scanning electron microscope (SEM). We looked at a coin (10 won) to find a secrete feature in the middle of the pagoda (DaBoTap). Ask students from Neungju High School (South Korea) what they found!
