email: cmbourg[at]mit.edu
Catherine is the Program Manager for the RLE’s Center for Excitonics, directed by Marc Baldo. She is responsible for the administration and fiscal processes within the center and provides support for the Spin and Excitonics Engineering group. In addition, she manages the RLE’s Leading Excellence in Administration Program (LEAP) in the development and delivery of training materials and presentations related to best practices for RLE administrative assistants. This includes helping on-board new assistants in the lab. She's been at MIT since May 2001.
Markus Einzinger
office: 13-3041
phone: 617-324-2129
email: meinzing[at]mit.edu
Markus Einzinger is a fifth year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He joined the group in the Fall 2013 to conduct research for his master's thesis. He received his B.S. and M.S. in Molecular Nano Science from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in 2012 and 2014 respectively. His current research focuses on the creation of novel integrated architectures by smartly introducing in-plane functionality to organic electronic devices.
Joseph Finley
office: 13-3041

email: jfinley[at]mit.edu
Joseph Finley joined MIT's Spin & Excitonics Engineering group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the summer of 2015 . He is a proud recipient of the MIT's Jacobs Presidential Fellowship awarded to strong candidates for incoming first- year EECS graduate students. He received a B.S. in Engineering Physics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2015. His current research focuses on energy efficient magnetic devices for logic applications.
Dong-Gwang Ha
office: 13-3041
phone: 617-324-2129
email: hdg[at]mit.edu
Dong-Gwang Ha is a postdoctoral associate in the SEE in EECS and Mircea Dinca's Functional Inorganic and Organic Materials group in Chemistry at MIT. He received his BS (2009) and MS (2011) in Materials Science and Engineering from Seoul National University. During his MS, he studied blue phosphorescent OLEDs under the supervision of Prof. Jang-Joo Kim. After, he worked as a research scientist at Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), where he helped to develop superconducting transmon qubit system. He received his PhD. in Materials Science and Engineering in the spring of 2019 from MIT, supervised by Marc Baldo in the SEE group. His current research focuses on two areas. The first is the growth and characterizations of two-dimensional Metal-Organic-Frameworks (2D MOFs). The second is the fundamental studies of optical & electrical properties of organic materials for OLEDs application.
Ting-An Lin
office: 13-3061
phone: 617-324-3608
email: tinganl[at]mit.edu
Ting-An Lin is a third year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She received her B.S.(2016) and M.S.(2017) in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University. Her research at Taiwan focused on blue TADF OLEDs and hybrid white OLEDs. Currently she works on photon up-conversion.
Cole Perkinson
office: 2-216 and 13-3029
phone: 617-452-2326
email: perkinsc[at]mit.edu
Cole Perkinson is a fourth-year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Chemistry. He received a B.A. in Physics/Chemistry from Reed College in 2013 and an M.Phil. in Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2015. His work at Cambridge focused on characterization of exciton dynamics in hybrid polymer/quantum dot thin films and nanocrystalline solar cells. He joined the Spin and Excitonics Engineering Group and the Bawendi Group in Fall 2015. Cole’s current research interests are on photophysical dynamics in excitonic systems, singlet fission, photon upconversion, and materials for third-generation photovoltaic devices.
Jan Tiepelt
office: 13-3029
phone: 617-452-2326
email: jtiepelt[at]mit.edu
Jan Tiepelt is a third year graduate student in the Spin and Excitonics Engineering group. He received his his B.S. Materials Science from RWTH Aachen in 2013. After a six-month research stay at Princeton University in 2014, he attended ETH Zurich, where he earned his M.S. in Materials Science in 2017. Part of his M.S. research was carried out at MIT as a visiting student. His investigations are focused on efficiency roll-off and degradation phenomena in OLEDs as well as the improvement of light-outcoupling via surface plasmon modes.
