Arturo Juan earned his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Southern California, then earned his master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from UCSB. He worked in industry prior to entering the Materials PhD Program. Juan is advised by Steven DenBaars, a distinguished professor of materials and electrical and computer engineering. The focus of his research is on the epitaxial growth, processing, and characterization of wide-bandgap semiconductors for optoelectronic devices. According to Juan, working to improve the efficiency of materials that emit light could pave the way, for next-generation technologies having applications in optical communication, sensors, lighting, and quantum computing.

Tanay Tak is a Ph.D. student in the Materials Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara where he works under the guidance of Profs. James Speck, Steven DenBaars, and Claude Weisbuch. His research focus is on advancing the fundamental understanding and usage of III-N materials and devices. In particular, he has a glimpse into the inner workings of devices under operating conditions by employing electron emission-spectroscopy and -microscopy techniques.

Emily came to UC Santa Barbara in 2020 to pursue graduate studies in Materials and is in the DenBaars Group as a member of the Solid State Lighting and Energy Electronics Center. Emily's work focuses on the development of III-nitride active regions for lasers and other photonic devices. Her interest in quantum materials lies in the heterogeneous integration of photonic integrated circuits for applications in quantum sensing.
