Saquib Ahmed, assistant professor of engineering technology, and five of his students presented the poster session “An Integrated Assessment of Next Generation Photovoltaic Technologies” at the American Society for Engineering Students (ASEE) Zone 1 Conference, hosted by Pennsylvania State University’s College of Engineering, in University Park, Pennsylvania, March 30-April 1.
This project, the first to come out of Buffalo State’s Integrated Studies in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center, revolved around tackling next generation photovoltaic technologies through the integrated lenses of science and technology; economics; ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI); and accelerated discovery (using machine learning and artificial intelligence).
The five students, from various departments, worked closely together on the project and presentation:
Joseph Wikar and Nicholas White, Mechanical Engineering Technology; Leanna Tse, Electrical Engineering Technology; Michael Vullo, Chemistry; and Tyler Body, Mathematics and Data Science.
The researchers plan to professionally publish their findings in an interdisciplinary journal.
Watch the Nanotechnology Center video and the SUNY System Administration website for more on the success of this project as well (coming soon).
