Dr. Kevin Musselman

Biography

Dr. Musselman joined the University of Waterloo in 2015. His research focuses on the development of functional nanomaterials for a variety of devices, including photovoltaic solar cells, light-emitting diodes, memristors, quantum-tunneling diodes, and novel sensors. He is particularly interested in developing scalable methods for manufacturing nanomaterials, employing techniques such as spatial atomic layer deposition and pulsed laser approaches. Dr. Musselman performed his doctoral studies in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge, where he developed new electrochemical methods for fabricating cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials. In 2010, he was appointed a Hertha Ayrton Junior Research Fellow at Girton College, Cambridge University, where he researched in the Department of Physics under Sir Richard Friend. He has been influential in pioneering the use of atmospheric pressure spatial atomic layer deposition (AP-SALD) for producing thin films for optoelectronic devices, and his work has resulted in advancements in hybrid polymer-oxide solar cells and color-pure hybrid organometal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes.
