Overview
Personal Profile
Bryon Larson currently studies photoinduced charge carrier generation, transport, and decay dynamics in emergent thin-film and flexible PV materials, including organic semiconductors, metal-halide perovskites, and novel organometallic absorbers. In addition to spectroscopic characterization, his research includes solution-phase processing, solar cell fabrication, device physics, chemical analysis, X-ray crystallography, and material design to qualify and predict next-gen champion PV materials. His work also includes metrology solutions and scaling techniques for roll-to-roll manufacturing of photovoltaic modules.
