The Bryce S Richards Lab
Bryce S Richards has not joined FindMyLab yet.
This page was put together from public sources so that students can find the group. Nobody from the lab is reading applications here.
You can still register your interest. We will contact Bryce S Richards to tell them a student is waiting, and email you as soon as they respond — or if they do not.

About the lab
Materials chemistry, photonics, solar-energy conversion, and membrane-based water technologies
Richards Lab develops materials and energy technologies centered on advanced photonic, catalytic, and solar-conversion materials. The lab works on metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks, phosphors, perovskites, nanocrystals, and membrane-based systems, with a strong focus on how structure, defects, and interfaces control optical and functional performance. Its research spans luminescent materials for sensing and security marking, photovoltaic-thermal and hybrid solar collectors, and renewable-energy-powered membrane technologies for desalination and filtration. Students in the lab can expect work that combines synthesis, materials characterization, spectroscopy, diffraction, and device-oriented testing. The lab is especially interested in turning fundamental materials chemistry into practical technologies for energy harvesting, water treatment, and optical sensing.
