معرفی
Toh-Ming Lu is a Professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics & Astronomy at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He joined RPI in 1982 and served as Department Chairman from 1992 to 1997. His research focuses on novel materials for advanced electronics and energy applications, particularly thin-film epitaxy of semiconductors.
- Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison
His research spans epitaxy of 3D semiconductors on 2D substrates, thermal conductivity in boron arsenide, and flexible solar cells using antimony selenide. Publications highlight applications of van der Waals epitaxy, graphene interfaces, and defect-engineered materials.
Recent work trends include scalable synthesis of semiconductor films, interfacial strain management, and characterization techniques like azimuthal RHEED and X-ray diffraction. His team has explored both inorganic and hybrid perovskite materials for optoelectronic applications.
