Stephanie Law's research group synthesizes thin films and heterostructures using molecular beam epitaxy for energy applications. In particular, their efforts center around photonic materials and metamaterials spanning the electromagnetic spectrum from the visible through the terahertz range. These materials have applications in solar cells, efficient lighting, waste heat recovery, photocatalysis, and more.
