Grossman Group

The Grossman research group is a diverse group of material scientists specializing in both computational and experimental studies. Our research spans nanomaterials, electronic and optoelectronic devices, water desalination, and renewable energy, where our team members have broad expertise and are able to work laterally across these topics. We foster a strong culture of collaboration where a constant feedback loop between theory and experiment facilitates novel discoveries and efficiency/performance breakthroughs. We engage with several government agencies and industrial partners to maximize the impact of our work and harvest the benefits of our discoveries for society. We maintain a strong relationship with our alumni and foster long term relationships between our members as they go on to further pursue academic or industry positions.

The group focuses on a wide array of nanomaterials and energy related applications. Our group members often work in at least one of these disciplines and are sufficiently versed in both computational and experimental methods to enable strong collaborative efforts. Our research targets both fundamental materials understanding and novel materials and devices for consumer and industrial adoption.
