Shoutout to Kirmani Lab members, Gavin Heil & David Lusignan, who presented their project results at the RIT Undergraduate Research Symposium! Gavin is developing ultralight encapsulation for perovskite space solar cells, while David is exploring scalable film fab. #perovskites #spacepower #newPI

Figures should do more than decorate; they should argue! My new editorial in APL Energy discusses symmetry, color, 3D graphics, and AI in scientific figure design. Link: doi.org/10.1063/5.02...

"Are metal-halide perovskite solar cells really radiation tolerant?" This is the question we ask in our new @cellpress.bsky.social Joule paper. We challenge the notion of #perovskite invincibility, and present 4 keys to assess them for space power. Free access: authors.elsevier.com/a/1khA9925JE...

Had a great time visiting @gatechengineers.bsky.social last week to give a solar cell research seminar! Wonderful campus, great weather, and fantastic people. Thanks @jpcorreabaena.bsky.social for the invitation! Great meeting with @stingelin.bsky.social #newPI #perovkites #spacepower

Thrilled to share the 1st paper from Kirmani Group @rittigers.bsky.social, published in ACS Photonics in the 'Rising Stars in Photonics' special issue! 🎉 Congrats to my PhD student, Buh Tatchen, for leading this effort refining radiation testing guidelines for #perovskites for space power. 🚀

The Kirmani Group @rittigers.bsky.social is at #MRSF24 in Boston! Excited to organize Symposium SB13: Soft Materials for Harsh Environments & Tutorial SB13 at Hynes. Join us to explore perovskites for space & more! 🚀 Presentations: 1️⃣ Sun, 3:30 PM 2️⃣ Mon, 3:30 PM 3️⃣ Mon, 4:00 PM 4️⃣ Tue, 8:00 PM #SB13

🚀 Exciting Postdoc Opportunity! Our ASTROMAT Center at @rittigers.bsky.social, funded by US Space Force, is hiring a #postdoc to advance #perovskites for #space power. This will be a joint position in my & Seth Hubbard's groups. Start Apr/May 2025 💸 $70-90k + benefits ⏳ 2-4 years See attached!

Very excited to join Bluesky! I'm an Assistant Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology researching printable thin-film materials for terrestrial & extreme electronics; focus on 'perovskites for space'. Here's my TEDx talk summarizing our group's research focus! #newPI #perovskites #spacepower
