Ahmad Kirmani

I am an Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Materials Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

In a career spanning 10+ years, I have researched next-generation solution-processed semiconductor electronics based on colloidal nanocrystals, metal-oxides, and metal-halide perovskite semiconductors. This body of research has so far resulted in over 55 research articles with lead works published in high-impact journals including Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Joule, Advanced Materials, & ACS Energy Letters, besides multiple contributed and invited talks. During my postdoctoral tenure at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), I have advanced perovskite optoelectronics for aerospace applications.

My research has drawn attention to the interfacial and microstructural complexity in printed electronics, and the need to understand it for enabling the lab-to-fab transition.
