Harvey Guthrey joined NREL in 2013 after completing his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Colorado School of Mines. As a researcher in the Analytical Microscopy group, he focuses on developing and applying advanced electron-microscopy-based characterization techniques to the study of photovoltaics and energy-storage materials.

Research Interests

Combining structural and chemical characterization techniques to connect device-level performance with micro- and nanoscale phenomena in energy materials

Charge-carrier recombination analysis that connects experimental results with theoretical explanations for semiconducting materials

Education

B.S., Physics, University of North Texas, 2008

M.S., Materials Science, Colorado School of Mines, 2011
