Matthew Waldrip won a competitive application for summer research support in the Collins Lab. His proposal is to develop fast field switching inside an organic solar cell beyond RC constraints to achieve ~10ns resolution in Time-Dependent Collection Field measurements.

Matthew Waldrip has received the Auvil Scholars Fellowship as an outstanding student at Washington State University

The Collins Lab has been awarded the WSU New Faculty Seed Grant through the internal competition process. This grant funds the work of one graduate student throughout two academic semesters toward the goal of acquiring initial data for extramural grants. The project is to develop initial results on orientation-dependent optical models of polymer molecules to quantitatively measure molecular orientation and conformation in thin film nanostructures.
