Phillip Cox, PhD

Program Manager, Senior Staff Scientist

Contact Phil

Our resident materials and device characterization expert, Dr. Cox’s graduate work focused on developing electrostatic force microscopy for studying the relationship between film structure and device function and degradation in organic photovoltaics. At the Testbeds, Dr. Cox supports lab users across all functional areas and is responsible for not only the totality of the lab's instrumentation uptime, but also its award-winning safety protocols.

Tucker Murrey, PhD

Senior Staff Scientist

Contact Tucker

Our resident materials and device fabrication expert, Dr. Murrey received his Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering from the University of California, Davis. He has extensive experience developing solution-based processing methods for molecular and polymeric semiconductors, as well as optical, structural, and electronic characterization methods. He was then a postdoctoral associate at Princeton University studying photovoltaic and semi-conducting materials. Dr. Murrey supports Testbeds users in developing and testing complex fabrication processes.

Bosong Li, PhD

Senior Staff Scientist

Contact Bosong

Bosong received her Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. She is a staff member working on the System Integration Testbed, also works as a postdoctoral research scholar with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UW.
