Annie Greenaway

Annie Greenaway is a Researcher in the Materials Physics group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), focusing on novel semiconductors for optoelectronic and solar fuel applications. She joined NREL as a Director’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2018 after completing her PhD in Chemistry at the University of Oregon.

• Education: Bachelor’s (Hendrix College), Master’s, and PhD in Chemistry (University of Oregon)

Her research spans Nitride semiconductors, combinatorial materials discovery, and semiconductor photoelectrochemistry, with recent work on integrating II-IV-N2 semiconductors with GaN and developing photoelectrochemical cascades for solar-to-methanol conversion.

While her publications emphasize semiconductor development for photovoltaics and solar fuels, they also highlight innovations in electron transport, protective layers for photocathodes, and organic-inorganic hybrid systems.
