Vanessa Wood Bio : Vanessa Wood currently heads the Laboratory for Nanoelectronics at ETH Zurich, where she is an assistant professor in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering. In 2012, she was awarded the Intel Young Faculty Career Honor Award. Before joining ETH Zurich in 2011, she was a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Professor Yet-Ming Chiang and Professor Craig Carter in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, performing research on novel lithium-ion battery systems. She received her MSc and PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. Her graduate work was done in the group of Professor Vladimir Bulovic and focused on the development of optoelectronic devices containing colloidally synthesized quantum dots. While a MS/PhD student, she held the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship. She also holds a BS in Applied Physics (2005) from Yale College. |

This talk will introduce our work developing and implementing new analytical approaches to study optoelectronic and electrochemically active materials. The first part of the talk will focus on open questions related to the behavior of colloidal quantum-dot (QD) based solids. Examples will include the use of capacitive structures for investigating the origins of luminescence quenching in colloidal quantum dots and deep level transient spectroscopy to identify trap states and transport phenomenon in solids. The second part of the talk will focus on electrochemical systems, specifically our work with synchrotron x-ray tomography to visualize the microstructure of lithium ion battery porous electrodes in order to quantify and understand performance limitations.
