Tyler J. Grassman works on compound semiconductor materials and devices for solar energy conversion, focusing on how crystal defects (such as misfit dislocations) form and affect performance in materials like GaAsP, GaAs, and CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) used in high-efficiency and tandem solar cells. His work combines materials growth techniques (like MOCVD, a method for depositing thin semiconductor layers) with advanced microscopy methods to characterize defects at the atomic and microstructural level. This research is relevant to students interested in photovoltaics, semiconductor crystal growth, and defect/materials characterization.
