Marc Baldo (MIT, Center Director). Baldo pioneered phosphorescent OLEDs - now standard for high efficiency solid state lighting. |
Alan Aspuru-Guzik (Harvard). Recently, Aspuru-Guzik pioneered the application of open quantum systems to understand energy transfer in natural and artificial antennas. |
Paul Barton (MIT). Barton is experienced in numerical analysis and software development for simulation, and mathematical modeling of engineered systems. |
Moungi Bawendi (MIT). Bawendi has pioneered the science and technology of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots and has led the spectroscopy of quantum dots at the ensemble and single quantum dot scale. |
Karl Berggren (MIT). Berggren has pioneered the combination of lithography and self assembly for the patterning of sub 10-nm features. |
Charles Black (BNL). Black pioneered nanometer-scale self assembly in lithography. |
Vladimir Bulović (MIT). Bulović and colleagues demonstrated the first electroluminescence from an exciton polariton and also pioneered QD-LEDs. |
Ken Crozier (Harvard). Crozier pioneered plasmonic antennas for use with lasers. |
Silvija Gradečak (MIT). Gradečak's Cathodoluminescence Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (CL-STEM) tool is presently unique within the US and offers a singular opportunity to correlate the structure and function of excitonic materials. |
