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.
