Kevin Pipe's laboratory, jointly run with Professor Max Shtein, is a highly collaborative research environment, where students and faculty from several different departments participate in the development of novel nanostructured materials, devices, and processing methods, with a strong focus on energy-related topics. The focus is on the solid-state interconversion of light and electricity (organic-based photovoltaic and light-emitting devices), as well as heat and electricity (electronic/optoelectronic devices, including thermoelectric devices).
