Roberto C. Myers is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, holding courtesy appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Physics. His research focuses on semiconductor optoelectronics, nanowire heterostructures, and spintronics, particularly in III-nitride systems and β-Ga2O3 materials. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2006) and a B.S.E. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (2001).
Key research areas include molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of nanowire heterostructures, thermal spin transport phenomena in magnetic materials like YIG, and development of high-efficiency ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) and photodetectors. Myers explores defect engineering in ZnS and GaN/AlN systems, as well as novel materials such as AgScP2S6 for nonlinear optics. His work bridges semiconductor physics, materials growth techniques, and device applications, emphasizing scalable fabrication methods for nanowire-based optoelectronics.
Publications highlight advancements in UV photodetectors with enhanced rejection ratios, anisotropic optical properties of β-Ga2O3, and the role of magnons in spin caloritronics. His research frequently intersects with thermal effects, interface engineering, and the design of exotic material systems for next-generation optoelectronic and spintronic devices.
