At NREL Since: 
2009

Matt Bergren received a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics from the Colorado School of Mines in 2009. During his time at Mines, he contributed to work done on organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells with particular focus on the photoluminescences properties of ZnO thin films and ZnO nanorods. He joined the Chemical and Nanoscale Sciences Group at NREL in September 2009. His research at NREL focuses on multiple-exciton generation in nanoctrystals/nanowires and charge-transport properties in arrays of nanocrystals/nanowires.
