Bio

Erin L. Ratcliff is a Full Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering and the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech, with a joint appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Her Laboratory for Interface Science for Printable Electronic Materials investigates the fundamentals and applications of energy conversion, storage, and sensing devices including solar cells, transistors, photoelectrodes, capacitors, and batteries. Her research combines electrochemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, and synchrotron-based techniques to study charge transport and charge transfer across functional materials such as metal halide perovskites, π-conjugated materials, colloidal quantum dots, and metal oxides.
