Based at Georgia Tech-Lorraine (GT-L), Ayari is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is advised by Abdallah Ougazzaden, an ECE professor and GT-L director.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAyari was recognized for his paper, \u0026ldquo;Van der Waal Epitaxy investigation of GaN-based materials on 2D h-BN by MOVPE for high performance opto-electronic devices.\u0026rdquo; This work is devoted to a Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) growth study of GaN-based materials on 2D h-BN. Supported by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (the French equivalent of the National Science Foundation in the United States), this project aims to demonstrate high performance nitride-based flexible optoelectronics that can be used in LEDs, solar cells, and high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs).\u0026nbsp;This research would also have direct applications in flexible displays, wearable sensors, and InGaN-based tandem solar cells.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAyari\u0026rsquo;s coauthors on the paper were Ougazzaden; Suresh Sundaram and Jean Paul Salvestrini, of GT-L and GT-CNRS UMI 2958, a lab focusing on research in non-linear optics and dynamics, smart materials, and computer science; Saiful Alam and Paul Voss, of the School of ECE at Georgia Tech and GT-CNRS UMI 2958; Adama Mballo and Yacine Halfaya, of GT-CNRS UMI 2958; and Simon Gautier, of Institut Lafayette, an organization\u0026nbsp;promoting technology transfer from GT-L research labs and transatlantic industrial research and development opportunities in the optoelectronics sector.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp;Taha Ayari won the Young Scientist Award at the 2018 European Materials Research Society Meeting, held June 18-22 in Strasbourg, France.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Taha Ayari won the Young Scientist Award at the 2018 European Materials Research Society Meeting, held June 18-22 in Strasbourg, France."}],"uid":"34390","created_gmt":"2018-06-29 16:35:10","changed_gmt":"2018-06-29 16:58:22","author":"pvoss3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2018-06-29T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2018-06-29T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"607326":{"id":"607326","type":"image","title":"Taha Ayari","body":null,"created":"1530104742","gmt_created":"2018-06-27 13:05:42","changed":"1530104742","gmt_changed":"2018-06-27 13:05:42","alt":"photograph of Taha Ayari","file":{"fid":"231658","name":"EMRS_Award_Taha_photo2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/EMRS_Award_Taha_photo2.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/EMRS_Award_Taha_photo2.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":65504,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/EMRS_Award_Taha_photo2.jpg?itok=OAr8wKSS"}}},"media_ids":["607326"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.lorraine.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech-Lorraine"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.european-mrs.com\/meetings\/2018-spring-meeting","title":"2018 European Materials Research Society Spring Meeting"}],"groups":[{"id":"584910","name":"UMI2958"}],"categories":[{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"178013","name":"Taha Ayari"},{"id":"4407","name":"Graduate Student"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"13161","name":"Georgia Tech-Lorraine"},{"id":"178414","name":"GT-CNRS UMI 2958"},{"id":"98061","name":"institut lafayette"},{"id":"178415","name":"2018 European Materials Research Society Meeting"},{"id":"178416","name":"GaN-based materials"},{"id":"178417","name":"flexible optoelectronics"},{"id":"14280","name":"LEDs"},{"id":"167411","name":"solar cells"},{"id":"178418","name":"high-electron-mobility transistors"},{"id":"178419","name":"HEMTs"},{"id":"178420","name":"flexible displays"},{"id":"10442","name":"Wearable Sensors"},{"id":"1815","name":"optoelectronics"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"},{"id":"39471","name":"Materials"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
