معرفی
Paulette Clancy is a Professor at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering within the College of Engineering at Cornell University. She has held significant leadership roles, including serving as the William C. Hooey Director of the School from 2002 to January 2010, and as the first female Director of the School and first woman to Chair an Engineering department in the College of Engineering at Cornell.
- Education: First Class Honors in Chemistry from London University (1974), D. Phil in Physical Chemistry from Oxford University (1977)
Her research focuses on atomic- and molecular-scale modeling of semiconductor materials, with key interests in linking material design to properties for applications in photovoltaics and laser annealing of semiconductors. Her work spans traditional silicon-based materials, organic electronics (e.g., pentacene, C60), and organic/inorganic hybrids like ligand-capped nanocrystal superlattices.
Her publications highlight trends in computational materials science, emphasizing stochastic simulations, kinetic Monte Carlo methods, and thin film growth optimization. She has contributed to advancements in organic semiconductor heterojunctions, covalent organic frameworks, and self-assembled nanocrystal superlattices.
