In semiconductor nanomaterials, spatial confinement and structural heterogeneity can
present transport behavior that deviates markedly from the bulk phase. Using a combination
of ultrafast spectroscopy, timeresolved optical microscopy, and kinetic Monte Carlo
simulation, I will show how these effects manifest in assemblies of colloidal quantum dots
(QD) and atomically thin two-dimensional semiconductors. As an area of emerging focus in
my group, I will highlight some of the intriguing and counterintuitive aspects of exciton
transport, annihilation, and interfacial transfer in 2D materials.
Will Tisdale joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT in 2012, where he is the
Charles & Hilda Roddey Career Development Assistant Professor. His research program is
focused on the development of nanoscale semiconductor materials for use in next-generation
energy technologies. Will earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of
Delaware in 2005, his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in
2010, and was a postdoc in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT before joining
the faculty in 2012. He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for
Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the DOE Early Career Award, the NSF CAREER Award, an
Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and MIT’s Everett Moore Baker Award for Excellence in
Undergraduate Teaching. Group
