Amin Salehi, a Graduate Student from So group, Won the NCSU Department of Physics Research Assistant Award

Amin Salehi, a graduate student from Franky So group in MSE, won the Department of Physics (NCSU) Research Assistant Award. The Research Assistant (RA) Award is annually given by the NCSU’s Department of Physics to the best graduate student contributing to research.  Amin joined NCSU in 2014 and started his research on organic electronics in the summer of 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Franky So. His research is focused on opto-electronic fundamentals of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Amin’s work has led to the discovery of amorphous organic layers with low refractive index, which results in significant improvements on OLEDs efficiency. Through in-depth optical calculations and experiments, he studied optical properties of organic materials and their effects in OLED devices
