Michael Filler

Michael Filler is Associate Professor at Georgia Tech's School of Materials Science and Engineering and Traylor Faculty Fellow in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. His Filler Lab specializes in nanoscale materials synthesis and deployment for electronic, photonic, and energy technologies.

Research focuses on:

• Nanowire synthesis using in situ spectroscopy to understand atomic-level growth mechanisms
• Engineering nanowire structure via precursor design for heterostructures and doping control
• Semiconductor nanowire plasmonics for infrared light manipulation
• Scalable manufacturing through innovations like the Geode process for high-throughput production

His work bridges fundamental chemical understanding with practical applications in energy and electronics. Research has been supported by NSF, DOE, DARPA, SRC, and Schmidt Futures.
