Alexander G. Agrios

Alexander G. Agrios is an Associate Professor and holds the Al Geib Professorship in Environmental Engineering Research and Education at the University of Connecticut's College of Engineering, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He leads the Agrios Research Group focused on environmental applications of nanotechnology, particularly photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion and photocatalytic pollutant remediation.

His research explores:

• Nanoscale semiconductors for low-cost solar energy conversion
• Novel architectures in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) to maximize electron harvesting efficiency
• Perovskite solar cells (PSC) using advanced nanostructures
• Combined PV/thermal solar collectors and photocatalytic environmental cleanup

Agrios's publication trends (2016-2025) reveal strong focus on:

• Advanced characterization of photovoltaic systems using impedance spectroscopy
• Nanomaterial development for solar cells and batteries
• Environmental implications of nanotechnology
• Novel synthesis methods for energy materials

He directs laboratory research in Castleman Building Room 310 and maintains active collaboration through his research group. No awards or student advisees are mentioned in available materials.
