Professor Ken Burch Receives $447,000 DOE Grant

Professor Ken Burch was recently awarded a grant from the Basic Energy Sciences division of the Department of Energy to study Weyl Semimetals.  These exotic materials offer exciting new opportunities for high speed electronics, new optical converters of light to electricity, fundamental exploration of topics in high energy physics and quantum mechanics.  He will use novel onto-electronic means to uncover the physical processes leading to their high speed behavior and potential use in the future photo-thermal energy generation.
