Kirstin Alberi
National Renewable Energy Lab
15013 Denver West Parkway
Golden, CO 80401
Phone: 303-384-7647
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Research Interest: Dr. Alberi received a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003 and a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008, where she studied the optical and electronic properties of highly mismatched semiconductor alloys. She came to NREL as a postdoctoral researcher in the Silicon Materials and Devices group to investigate the design and performance of thin crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells fabricated on inexpensive substrates. In 2010, Kirstin joined the Solid State Spectroscopy group to conduct basic research on the optical and electronic properties of semiconductor alloys for photovoltaic and solid-state lighting applications. Specific research interests include the development of phosphide-based alloys for high-efficiency lighting, the physics of dilute nitride and bismide III-V alloys, and high-spatial resolution studies on minority carrier transport in thin-film photovoltaic materials.

Filip Ronning
Los Alamos National Lab
Los Alamos, NM 87545
Phone: 505-667-7426
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Research Interest: Filip Ronning received his Ph.D. at Stanford University in 2001 for his angle-resolved photoemission work on cuprates. Subsequently, he did a postdoc at the University of Toronto, performing low-temperature thermal conductivity measurements. In 2003, he moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory where he is currently a staff member in charge of the transport and thermodynamic measurement team. His interests are in strongly correlated materials and unconventional superconductivity.
