Emily E. Morgan, Ph. D. Candidate

Research interests

I use spectroscopic and diffraction techniques, as well as DFT to better understand the structure and dynamics in halide perovskites and other energy materials. I am also interested in the synthesis and characterization of new low dielectric constant materials for 5G applications.

About me

I was born in Washington D.C. but have also lived in Massachusetts, Colorado, New Jersey, Missouri, and now California! In my free time I enjoy running, rock climbing, and hiking.
