Abdul Moeez
Moeez is a PhD Student in Molecular Engineering program. He is advised by Prof. Lilo Pozzo. In Pozzo Research Group, he is currently working on developing workflows for autonomous experimentation by integrating techniques like Small Angle X-Ray Scattering, Photo-spectroscopy and Microfluidics along with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. He has also worked with Prof. Jun Liu for his Masters in Materials Science and Engineering thesis on developing electrochemically stable cathodes for Sodium Ion Batteries. He is a Fulbright and Global UGRAD Alumnus....

The goal of my research is to predict the degradation of encapsulated perovskite films and devices. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show potential for ultra-low manufacturing cost with high power conversion efficiency. However, the commercialization of PSCs is still uncertain given concerns about their stability. Previously, we showed how to predict the degradation of diffusion length in non-encapsulated MAPbI3 films over an extremely wide range of environment conditions using machine learning (ML). However, encapsulation is necessary for long service lifetimes. During the period of the award, I will collect a large dataset of degradation kinetics of encapsulated MAPbI3 and (FA,Cs)Pb(I,Br)3 perovskite films that includes in-situ optical transmittance along with video...
