Nicholas Siemons
Research Engineer, Precourt Institute for Energy
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and EngineeringBioNicholas began his academic career by studying integrated Masters at University College, London. During this time he published his first article, "Multiple exciton generation in nanostructures for advanced photovoltaic cells" - a review of how to produce photovoltaics with greater than 100% internal efficiencies. Following this Nicholas began research into solar voltaics and organic batteries in the group of Prof. Jenny Nelson at Imperial College, London. During this time Nicholas developed his keen interest in how to relate the chemical design of polymers to their ability to function as battery electrode materials. To achieve this goal, Nicholas applies atomistic simulation methods to such polymer systems, and relates the simulated findings to experimental results, bridging the gap between chemistry and device properties. As well as linking molecular chemical design to device performance, Nicholas applies novel simulation and analysis methodologies to study these systems, including Molecular Dynamics, Density Functional Theory, Molecular Metadynamics and Network Analysis.

• Applications of computer algebra
He is a graduate in Physics from MIT and the University of Maryland, and studied Art History at Wellesley College. He was Chief Scientist of the American arm of the $15B international Ricoh Company and Rambus Fellow at Rambus, Inc. He has held faculty positions in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computation & Mathematical Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, and Art and Art History variously at Wellesley and Swarthmore Colleges, Clark, Boston, and Stanford Universities, and the Technical University of Vienna. He is a Fellow of IEEE, OSA, SPIE, IS&T, IAPR, IARIA, AAIA, IAII, and a Senior Life Member of ACM and was a 2023 Leonardo@Djerassi Fellow. He holds 64 US patents, and has published over 220 peer-reviewed scholarly articles and nine books/proceedings volumes, including "Pattern classification" (2nd ed.), "Seeing the light: Optics in nature, photography, color, vision, and holography," "HAL's Legacy: 2001's computer as dream and reality," and "Pixels & paintings: Foundations of computer-assisted connoisseurship." -
Yuri Suzuki
Stanley G. Wojcicki Professor, Professor of Applied Physics, and by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHer interests are focused on novel ground states and functional properties in condensed matter systems synthesized via atomically precise thin film deposition techniques with a recent emphasis has been on highly correlated electronic systems:
• Emergent interfacial electronic & magnetic phenomena through complex oxide heteroepitaxy
• Low dimensional electron gas systems
• Spin current generation, propagation and control in complex oxide-based ferromagnets
• Multifunctional behavior in complex oxide thin films and heterostructures
