Nominator's project description

Professor Prezhdo is an international authority in the computational study of photo-stimulated processes. He has made significant contributions to the theory and simulation of excited state and non-equilibrium phenomena in condensed phase chemical and physical systems. During his stay in Germany, he will continue his research, focussing on questions of application to real device structures for photovoltaic and photo-catalytic solar energy conversion.
