My name is Max Markuson DiPrince and I am a senior/first-year graduate student at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. I am studying both Physics and Sustainable Energy Sciences and am currently working towards my M.S. in Physics. I'm from Denver, Colorado and I'm currently engaged in dye-sensitized photovoltaics research funded by NASA Nebraska Space Grant & EPSCoR and Omaha Public Power District. I hope to receive my Ph.D. in Physics and continue to pursue thin-film, photovoltaic, and condensed matter nanoscale physics. Not only am I fascinated with the electrochemical and physical nature of photovoltaic devices, I am also intrigued with system integration and ensuring that these devices are implemented in our energy mix. This is especially crucial as the United States' photovoltaics market and renewable incentives are continually picking up while we try to decarbonize the electrical grid. I hope to invest all of my resources necessary to assist with this cause.
