Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena
Associate Professor and Goizueta Early Career Faculty Chair
School of Materials Science and Engineering College of Engineering
His work focuses on understanding the relationship between chemistry, crystallographic structure, and properties of emerging semiconducting materials for the development of optoelectronic devices.
Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena’s research focuses on the electronic nanoscale dynamics of low-cost semiconductors used for optoelectronic applications. Correa-Baena’s group works on advanced deposition techniques, with emphasis on low-cost and high throughput, as well as advanced characterization methods that include synchrotron-based mapping and imaging approaches with nanoscale resolution. His research program at Georgia Tech has attracted funding from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense, which funds cutting-edge research on new materials for solar energy conversion. His work has been cited over 28,000 times, making him a top cited researcher as recognized by the Web of Science Group Highly Cited Researchers (2019-21) and the Nature Index’s leading early career researchers in materials science (2019).

‘What they describe here is something that a lot of groups, including mine, have been doing for the past four or five years – that is putting an organic material on top of the perovskite to stand between it and the electron-selective contact … but the result is quite spectacular,’ says materials scientist Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, who works on p-i-n solar cells.
