接到了MSE@ASU的PhD AD，但不太确定

之前看到iq28版主无机薄膜太阳能电池的帖子， 说ASU的MSE只有很少的老师能够匹配。但后来他也说系里正招相关老师。我发过信问小米能不能选择在http://engineering.asu.edu/semte/Faculty_Mat_Grad.html页面下的老师（而不是Faculty_Materials.html下的），这比较tricky，因为前者其中也包括很多电子系的老师，包含很多做太阳能电池的老师。小米说可以。

但仔细看了下几个相关度大的老师的publications，发现其实和工业化还是有一定距离，鲜有直接涉及到solar cell层面的，都是在比较基础的地方做，与之形成对比的是UToledo（给我了挺不错的offer，而且第一年先做TA）的很多教授的论文。不过Toledo的Compaan教授退休了，Deng也没出现在物理系负责老师给我提供的PV faculty名单里，似乎iq28版主提到的一个教授只剩下Colins，做检测的。还有Heben, Yan, Podraza, Ellingson。

iq28版主最新的贴子里讲到找工作一来看方向的贴合度，二来看会不会操作一些state-of-the-art的仪器，在ASU，如果前者不能很对路，后者对路也行啊。但是如何知道在哪个老师手下做能get familiar with很多仪器呢？

在https://asunews.asu.edu/20110506_engineeringsolarresearch这篇关于ASU致力于solar的文章中，介绍了一些老师的情况。

这位是iq28说的吧：
Materials engineering professor Nathan Newman is teaming with van Schilfgaarde and ASU chemistry professor Peter Buseck to seek ways to produce efficient photovoltaic devices using materials that are abundant in nature. This would enable the devices to be made inexpensively – a critical advance that’s needed to make it economically feasible to ramp up manufacturing of solar power technology for widespread public use.

这两位似乎是做能量存储的，和pv关系并不直接：
Progress on the energy-storage front could be aided by materials science and engineering professor Karl Sieradzki and associate professor c Friesen, who are collaborating with ASU chemistry professor Dan Buttry on new battery technologies that promise significant advances for electric vehicles.

还有一个做理论的，但没在faculty列表里查到：
Materials science and engineering professor Mark van Schilfgaarde is looking at it from the most microscopic viewpoint. He’s studying “the fundamental physics and quantum mechanics that determine the properties of materials.”

.google  и然后就是两个EE系的华裔老师：
Electrical engineering professors Yong-Hang Zhang and Cun-Zheng Ning are seeking to discover combinations of materials that will enable cells to better absorb more of the solar light spectrum, so that more energy from sunlight is provided for conversion into electrical power.

Ning is building solar cells arranged in parallel in a lateral direction using semiconductor nanowires. Zhang is stacking different materials one on top of another. They both are looking for ways to achieve power conversion efficiency beyond the current limit of about 40 percent.

这个酷毙了的老师也在做，觉得气场很强：
Electrical engineering professor Dieter Schroder has led research to improve efficiency in  solar energy conversion by finding ways to eliminate defects and impurities in materials used for solar cells.

这三个老师就是重头了，很工业：
Electrical engineering professors Stephen Goodnick and Christiana Honsberg, with associate research professor Stuart Bowden, are leading the Solar Power Lab’s efforts to design and model photovoltaic systems that can be manufactured using simpler processes and less material – producing sufficient power at a low cost per kilowatt hour of energy production.

ASU的TA要通过特殊的英语能力考试，RA得自己套。但是不知道如何选择这些老师……如果套了一个，他不接受，能不能继续挨个来呢……因为就那几个老师，恰好要学生的概率也不高。

big cong ASU好地方啊。。。

LZ什么时候收到ASU MSE的AD的？

同问，LZ是什么时候收到AD的？

    作为MS的话ASU的就业前景 比较乐观啊。。 本来很喜欢这学校的。。而且美女还是全美第一多啊。可惜 小秘说T卡100  没有再考的动力 就放弃了。。
