Olivier Delaire is an Associate Professor at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics at Duke University, specializing in the investigation of atomistic transport processes relevant to energy and charge within materials. His research incorporates both experimental and computational methods to analyze and control microscopic energy transport for the design of next-generation materials, with a strong emphasis on sustainable energy applications. Delaire's current research focuses on superionic conductors, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and metal-insulator transitions. His group's work aims to provide fundamental insights into atomic dynamics and elementary excitations in condensed matter systems, utilizing techniques such as neutron and x-ray scattering, optical spectroscopy, and quantum-mechanical simulations. This multifaceted approach offers a deeper understanding of the interplay between microscopic mechanisms and macroscopic thermodynamic properties.
