Lead Institution
Arizona State University
Class
2020-2024
Mission
To achieve extreme electrical properties and phenomena through fundamental understanding of ultra wide bandgap materials – including synthesis and impurity incorporation, electronic structure at interfaces, electron - phonon interactions at high fields, and phonon mediated thermal transport, which will enable a resilient, smart electricity grid.
