Achievement

Roy Murray--As a fourth year Physics PhD student, the opportunity to perform a 3-month internship at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg, Germany was an amazing benefit for my studies. My research focuses on organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Due to the specialized nature of the work, there are very few other students or faculty at the University of Delaware to discuss my research with. Joining the 25 member OPV research group at the ISE allowed me to work with many other students and researchers and learn from them. I was able to both learn more techniques about my own research and branch out and learn new techniques to apply in my lab at UD. I presented my results from the internship at the APS March Meeting and am currently writing up a paper from the internship.
