Friedrich Prinz
Fritz Prinz is the Robert Bosch Chair of Mechanical Engineering and the Finmeccanica Professor in the School of Engineering, teaching in the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. He obtained his PhD in Physics at the University of Vienna, Austria. His students model and prototypes nanoscale structures to understand the physics of electrical energy conversion and storage. Prinz' students are exploring the relation between size, composition, and the kinetics of charge transfer. They are also interested in learning from nature, in particular by studying the electron transport chain in plant cells. The Prinz team employs a wide range of nano-fabrication technologies to build and evaluate prototype structures. Such technologies include atomic layer deposition, scanning probe microscopy, and impedance spectroscopy. In addition, the group uses molecular scale modeling to gain insights into the nature of charge separation and recombination processes.
