Igor Bargatin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science. His research focuses on micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) and their applications in energy conversion, optics, and smart materials. Igor applies his knowledge in physics and engineering to design and test new types of devices, including microfabricated thermionic energy converters, which convert heat directly into electricity at high temperatures. He aims to create a multidisciplinary research group at Penn, examining the intersections of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, engineering, and applied physics.
Wharton Doctoral programs cover fields like Finance, Marketing, Management, and Operations, Information and Decisions.
