SAYANTANI GHOSH Professor Ph.D., University of Chicago

Professor Sayantani Ghosh’s (pictured on top, second from right) research interests span traditional topics in condensed matter physics, such as correlated magnetic phases and coupled quantum systems, as well as with emerging multidisciplinary themes such as hybrid solar cells and plasmonics-based opto-electronic devices. Her lab recently redesigned luminescent solar concentrators to be more efficient at sending sunlight to solar cells. The advancement could be an important breakthrough for solar energy harvesting. Ghosh was awarded in 2011 a Faculty Early Career Development Award (CAREER) by the National Science Foundation.
