Elisa Miller

Dr. Elisa Miller-Link studies the surface of semiconductors that are applicable for photovoltaics and water splitting. She is interested in manipulating and controlling surface energetics, charge transfer, and surface reactions by doping, surface passivation, straining, and quantum confinement. Her research focuses on transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs),-conjugated polymers, quantum dots, perovskites, carbon nanotubes, and other thin films. Her expertise is in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and other spectroscopic characterization Elisa came to NREL in 2013 as an NREL Director’s Fellowship recipient for her post-doctoral research. In 2016, she continued her research as a staff scientist.
