Rate My Professor Monica Morales-Masis

Morales-Masis specializes in emerging semiconductor materials for solar cells and optoelectronic devices, developing synthesis strategies—such as pulsed laser deposition—for precise control over composition and microstructure. She establishes synthesis–structure–functionality relationships to design novel optoelectronic properties in metal halide perovskites, transparent conductive semiconductors, inorganic, organic, and hybrid compounds. Her research demonstrates the performance of these materials in efficient solar cell devices and fosters interdisciplinary collaborations across AI/ML-assisted discovery, plasma physics, advanced characterization, and device integration. Key publications include 'Transparent Electrodes for Efficient Optoelectronics' (Advanced Electronic Materials, 2017), 'Sputtered transparent electrodes for optoelectronic devices' (Matter, 2021), 'Low Damage Scalable Pulsed Laser Deposition of SnO2 for p–i–n Perovskite Solar Cells' (Solar RRL, 2023), 'The role of sulfur in sulfur-doped copper(I) iodide p-type transparent conductors' (Matter, 2023), and 'Scalable Pulsed Laser Deposition of Transparent Rear Electrode for Perovskite Solar Cells' (Advanced Materials Technologies, 2021). She manages the project 'Sputtering of PEROvskite halide materials for hybrid tandem on textured silicon bottom cells' (2025–2030) and teaches the 'Solar cells' course.
