Naiya Soetan earned her Ph.D. in 2018 from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Her dissertation was titled “Impact of composition, shape, and environment on the physical and optoelectronic properties of cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals” and was done under the direction of Professor Rizia Bardhan. Her research investigated how post synthetic processing impacts the electron dynamics of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals using spectroscopy techniques to provide fundamental information on the properties of perovskites. She now works at Intel as an R&D packaging engineer developing substrates that connect integrated circuits.
