Welcome to the Amassian Research Lab

The Amassian Research Lab, under the direction of Aram Amassian, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, develops organic and hybrid materials for next-generation energy technologies. With a focus on solar energy and solution-processed devices, we pursue breakthroughs in scalable, sustainable, and low-cost manufacturing. Our team combines expertise in ink-based additive manufacturing, in situ characterization, and robotic experimentation to accelerate discovery and innovation.

Aram Amassian, Principal Investigator

Professor Aram Amassian, Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, received his Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montréal. He held postdoctoral appointments at Cornell University and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where he later became a faculty member before joining North Carolina State University in 2019. His research focuses on organic and hybrid electronic materials, additive manufacturing, and sustainable energy devices, with a particular emphasis on advancing scalable fabrication methods for next-generation technologies.
