Wheeler Research Profile

Wheeler is a staff scientist at NREL. Dr. Wheeler has contributed to various multi-institution BES-funded research centers such as NREL’s Solar Photochemistry Core Program and the Center for Advanced Solar Photophysics, a former EFRC.

Research

Wheeler’s research expertise is in the synthesis, surface chemistry, and characterization of nanomaterials spanning elemental group IV materials to chalcogenides and halide perovskites. His recently formed research group focuses on the reversible reconfiguration and intercalation of metal halide perovskitoid materials. He leads efforts in zerovalent metal intercalation into layered oxide and chalcogenide compounds for synaptic behavior and co-lead recruitment, retention, and professional development efforts.
