David T. Moore received his doctorate in 2015 in materials science and physical chemistry, with studies focused on nanocrystal synthesis and solution crystallization of hybrid halide perovskites. He was a postdoc at the University of Oxford for a year before accepting a director’s fellowship at NREL in January 2016. David continues to work on hybrid halide perovskites and currently focuses on vapor deposition techniques for commercialization of this exciting new technology.
