Tyler McCarthy attended Compound Semiconductor Week 2023 (CSW 2023) in Jeju, Korea. During the conference, he shared our group’s excellent work on Group-IV compound semiconductor MBE growth through the oral presentation: “SiGeSn Alloys: From MBE Growth to Quantum Transport and Photodetector Applications”.

Welcome Razine. Razine graduated from ASU with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and will be staying to pursue his direct-PhD in Electrical Engineering at MBE optoelectronics lab. His current research interests involve exploring novel semiconductor materials, development in optical detectors and detection, and solar cell technology. Razine became a Fulton Fellow and received the Fulton Fellowship and ASU’s Palais Design and Moeur Awards.  He is a current research intern for Sandia National Laboratories and was a Department of Energy SULI student. He will finish his internship and return to our lab on August 7th.

Welcome Xiaoyang. Xiaoyang Liu is a second-year physics Ph.D. student. He finished his first-year lab rotation and decided to join MBE Optoelectronics Lab. He received his M.S. degree in condensed matter physics from Brown University and a B.S. degree in astrophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China. His previous work included 2-D material synthesis, topological insulator modeling, quantum fluctuation in superconductors, and big-data astrophysics. His current research interests are solar cells, MBE growth, and simulation of semiconductor devices.
