Rana Poushimin, PhD Candidate
Rana Poushimin's research is about plasmonic hot-electron devices, with emphasis on the design of a plasmonic antenna hot-electron solar cell. She got her MSc and BSc at Persian Gulf University of Iran and worked on the topology optimization of photonic crystal LEDs. She switched her research from theoretical fields into the new exciting world of experimental, striving to exploit her skills in simulation on her Ph.D. project in order to make her thesis unique.
