The Losego Lab seeks a Phenomenological Understanding of Material Processes — both in the making of materials (processing) and their performance (transport phenomena, chemical stability, etc.). We seek to explain processes with phenomenological models, providing new insights to materials performance and design. We predominantly focus on vapor phase processes to make and modify materials, including atomic layer deposition (ALD), atomic layer infiltration (ALI), vapor phase infiltration (VPI), and physical vapor deposition (PVD), with particular interest in organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
