Patrick Joseph Lohr

Patrick is a doctoral student in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering. Born and raised in Tucson, he attended the University of Arizona for his bachelors and master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering. His research interests include the efficiency and chemical stability enhancement of thin-film perovskite solar cells through plasmonic interactions with polymer nanofibers, hybrid core-shell nanoparticles, and other metallic nanostructures. More broadly, he is interested in improving economic and environmental sustainability in his rapidly-evolving field. Patrick enjoys playing drums and guitar, reading, cooking, hiking, and programming.
