Doc Brown
Profile
Alumni Resnick Graduate Research Fellow
Doc graduated from Caltech with a PhD in applied physics. He received his BS in physics from MIT. Before coming to Caltech, Doc worked at OSRAM Opto-Semiconductors developing ridge waveguide lasers. As a member of the Caltech thermoelectrics group, Doc focused on characterization of high temperature material transport properties. His Resnick project was to understand the mechanism by which phase transitions can lead to enhanced thermoelectric efficiencies and to apply that understanding toward the development of materials with record thermoelectric efficiency and low cost.
Doc is currently the Innovation Program Director at the Platform for Agriculture and Climate Transformation.
Faculty Advisers: G. Jeffrey Snyder, Austin J. Minnich and Sossina M. Haile
