Wisdom Benson

My academic journey encompasses earning a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. with Honors) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics from North Carolina Central University, where I was awarded a graduate scholarship and research assistantship as an international student. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at Howard University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum device physics, nano-sensors, photovoltaics, and nuclear fission. I am particularly drawn to the study of perovskite solar cells, motivated by their potential to address critical limitations of traditional silicon solar cells. My focus is on overcoming the challenges associated with Tin-Lead Perovskite Solar Cells (TLPSCs), including enhancing their stability and durability, optimizing synthesis techniques, and exploring alternative compositions to mitigate lead toxicity. At present, I am engaged in the modeling and simulation of piezoelectric quantum dots.

During my undergraduate studies, I concentrated on material physics with a focus on perovskite solar cells, examining their cost-effectiveness and superior power conversion efficiency compared to silicon-based alternatives. My master’s research included collaborative publications in fluid dynamics and a thesis that investigated factors affecting the operational stability of Tin-Lead Perovskite Solar Cells, proposing innovative solutions to improve their lifespan.

In addition to my research, I am a dedicated graduate teaching professional with expertise in facilitating learning, managing classroom dynamics, and tailoring instruction to meet diverse student needs. I am skilled in curriculum development, team collaboration, and fostering a positive educational environment. Known for my reliability, adaptability, and effective communication, I am committed to contributing meaningfully to both academic and professional settings.
