Feature
A Review of Schottky Junction Solar Cells
Dr. Amirhossein Ghods is currently
a member of technical staff in Park
Systems, Inc., working on developing
the next generation of high-resolution
atomic force microscopy systems.
He received his PhD degree in
electrical engineering from Missouri
University of Science and Technology
in May 2020. His research expertise
is in design, fabrication, and characterization of novel
optoelectronic devices, including solar cells and light-emitting
diodes, and has resulted in over 30 peer-reviewed journal
publications, conference proceedings, and book chapters.
He was also working as a research intern at Facebook AR/VR
during summer 2019. His research was mostly focused on
characterization of leakage current in blue GaN light-emitting
diodes.
Dr. Chuanle Zhou is currently
assistant research professor at
Missouri University of Science and
Technology (Missouri S&T). Her
research expertise is in characterizing
compound semiconductor electrical,
thermoelectrical, optical and
magnet properties and using these
materials to fabricate devices for
applications in the areas of sensors, illumination, energy
harvesting, and spintronics. She has given presentations
and invited talks in conferences of various areas, including
American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting, International
Conference on Thermoelectrics (ICT), SPIE conference, IEEE
Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC), etc. She has
had active collaboration with research groups from Purdue,
Northwestern University and UNC Charlotte. Her research
resulted in over 40 publications, conference proceedings,
books, book chapters, and patents.
Dr. Ian Ferguson is the Dean
of Southern Polytechnic College
of Engineering and Engineering
Technology at Kennesaw State
University. Prior to joining Kennesaw,
he had leadership positions in
both academia (Imperial College,
Northwestern University, Georgia
Tech, UNC Charlotte, Missouri
S&T, etc.) and industry (GEC, EMCORE, etc.). His research
expertise is in building interdisciplinary teams to use
compound semiconductor materials and devices for
applications in the areas of sensors, illumination, energy
harvesting, and spintronics. As an international educator
and researcher, he has had active collaborations in the US,
Europe, and Asia, which has resulted in over 550 refereed
journal publications, conference proceedings, books, book
chapters, and patents. He is Fellow of the Royal Society of
Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (FRSA), the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE), the Institute of
Physics (IOP), the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the
International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE).
