Nikolai Kouklin

Professor, Materials Science and Engineering

Prof. N. Kouklin's research work spans various aspects of nanomaterials, nano-semiconductors, Dirac semimetals, 1D and 2D metal oxides, quantum dots, Carbon-based nanostructures and their applications in diverse fields such as optics, electronics, energy harvesting, infrared and visible-UV photosensors as well as materials science engineering. The research has been carried out in the collaboration with faculty from Worster Polytechnique Institute (US), Santa-Clara University (US), Marsel University (France) and La-Crosse University (US) in the nanotechnology research laboratory, located on the 7^th floor of the EMS building, UWM. The support has been provided by NSF (ECCS, CHE, CBET, DMR), UWM (multiple grants), UW System, Jonson Controls, and Rockwell Automation.
