Overview

The McCall group will encompass the full range of materials chemistry, from the choice or design of prospective energy-related materials, to their successful incorporation into functioning devices such as solar cells or light-emitting devices. This research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of complex semiconductors for energy applications, where the combined practice of materials science, chemistry and physics enables structure-property relationships to be established and tested through the creation of novel materials. This work will bring the materials-by-design approach to bear on the energy-related problems of our time to enable next-generation sustainable materials and equip students with the interdisciplinary skills needed to meet these challenges.
