Sadaf Pournia

Post-doctoral researcher

Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science


Sadaf Pournia obtained a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from University of Cincinnati, Ohio. Her PhD research focused on studying the photoresponse and optical selection rules in a variety of nanomaterial systems including semiconductor nanowires, topological insulators and Weyl semimetals, for infrared applications. She is currently focused on understanding additive engineering and impact of stoichiometry variation within halide perovskites for photovoltaic applications.
