Cherie Kagan
Stephen J. Angello Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Chemistry
Associate Dean for Research, Penn Engineering
Energy Research Interests: The Kagan group focuses their research on the chemical and physical properties of nanostructured materials and the integration of materials with optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal properties for (multi-)functional devices. They combine the flexibility of chemistry and bottom-up assembly with top-down fabrication techniques to design materials and devices. As well, they explore the properties of materials and measure the characteristics of devices using spatially- and temporally-resolved optical spectroscopies, AC and DC electrical techniques, electrochemistry, scanning probe and electron microscopies, and analytical measurements.
