Dr. Samuel Erickson is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization (PVIC) at the University of Toledo. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Merced, where he worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and NASA Glenn Research Center to study the effects of low Earth orbit on perovskite photovoltaics. As a postdoc, he has expanded this work to include terrestrial and high-altitude testing of CdTe and other thin film technologies to space stressors such as UV, proton irradiation, and thermal cycling.
