Sayan Roy

Sayan Roy's research focuses on thin, two-dimensional semiconductor materials—particularly tungsten-based transition metal di-chalcogenides (TMDCs) like tungsten disulfide—for use in solar cells (photovoltaics), with a special emphasis on making these devices lightweight, ultra-thin, and resistant to radiation damage for space applications. The work combines materials modeling with device-level performance studies to understand how electronic and optical properties of these 2D materials affect solar energy conversion. This research could interest students curious about materials science, nanotechnology, and renewable energy technologies for extreme environments like space.

Publication output has been modest and irregular over the last decade, with occasional small peaks (e.g., 2021, 2023) interspersed with years of no recorded output, averaging less than one publication per year over the last five years.
