Carmel Rotschild is a Fulbright and Bikura awarded post-doc. Carmel received his PhD in the Physics department at the Technion (Israel), for which he received the Adams distinguished fellowship. Carmel did his PhD on nonlinear optics under the supervision of Prof. Mordechai Segev (winner of EPS Quantum Electronics and Max Born Awards). Carmel is currently exploring nonlinear optics in devices based on organic materials, such luminescent solar concentrators, lasers, switches, and self-assembled nano-structures.

Tim Heidel is a fourth year graduate student at MIT pursuing a PhD in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Tim is also pursuing a MS in the Technology and Policy Program at MIT. He received his B.S. in 2005 and M.Eng in 2006, both from MIT. Tim is currently exploring novel structures and materials for increasing light absorption in organic photovoltaic devices.

Carlijn Mulder is a second year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She first joined the group for the year '06-'07 as a visiting student from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, where she was persuing a masters in Applied Physics, and a minor in Management of Technology. Her research focuses on novel designs for Organic Light Emitting Diodes, and on biological light harvesting complexes.

Jiye Lee is a third year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science. She received her B.S. in 2006 from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Jiye is currently exploring the impact of spin on the lifetime of charge transfer states in organic semiconductors.

Priya Jadhav is a second year PhD student at MIT. She received a BE in EE from Birla Institute Of Technology and Science, India in 1993 and an MS from Boston University. Priya spent 10 years working in the software industry. Her current project is on charge injection in amorphous organics.

Phil Reusswig is a first year graduate student at MIT in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He received his B.S. and M.S. in 2006 and 2008 respectively in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University. At ISU, his work involved characterization and growth of thin film nanocrystalline silicon photovoltaics. His current research involves luminescent solar concentrators for photovoltaics.

Kaveh Milaninia is currently working on nanoelectromechanical memories and switches.

Shalom Goffri (Shlomy) was a postdoc working on organic photovoltaics and field-effect transistors. Before joining the group Shlomy completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge on the subject of crystalline multi-component systems and their use in organic field-effect transistors with Prof. Henning Sirringhaus. He explored the use of organic materials in luminescent solar concentrators.

Michael Currie (Mike) was graduate student working on organic photovoltaics. He was exploring the use of OLED materials in luminescent solar concentrators. Prior to graduate school he was an officer in the United States Air Force, where he researched atmospheric optical turbulence, and worked at MIT Lincoln Lab, where he researched anti-aircraft weapon systems. His other interests include sustainable building technology, composting and backpacking.
