GROUP MEMBERS
ADAM PRINTZ
Principal Investigator
Adam earned his B.S. in finance at the University of Maryland, College Park before returning to school to pursue engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Nanoengineering at the University of California, San Diego. There, he worked in the lab of Prof. Darren Lipomi, focusing on the co-optimization of the mechanical compliance and electronic performance of polymer-based solar cells. This work was awarded the Chancellor's Dissertation Medal for the Jacobs School of Engineering, the highest honor bestowed upon graduating doctoral students. He then completed his postdoctoral work at Stanford University in the lab of Prof. Reinhold Dauskardt where he worked on improving the thermomechanical stability of perovskite solar cells.
​
Adam is in a state of perpetual exhaustion from chasing around his five-year-old.
MATT DAILEY
PhD Student
Matt completed his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah in 2020. He worked under Dr. Kerry Kelly developing a network of low-cost air quality sensors; under Dr. Tony Butterfield as the president of the K-12 Outreach group; and under Dr. Swomitra Mohanty developing an autonomous system for treating water by purification using synthesized TO nanotubes. He has a research focus on designing scalable printing methods for high-quality perovskite thin films.
In his free time, he enjoys outdoor activities, sports, company, and his dog Sage.

ANTON SAMOYLOV
PhD Student, Carson Scholar and NASA STGRO Fellow
Anton Samoylov completed his B.S. in chemical engineering at UC San Diego in 2021, where he worked with Drs. Robert Pomeroy, Michael Burkart, and Stephen Mayfield. Under Dr. Pomeroy, he analyzed biodegradation products using mass spectrometry and synthesized bio-renewable polyurethane precursors. Under Dr. Burkart, he developed low-cost scalable flow chemistry systems and processes. Under Dr. Mayfield, he worked to image biodegradable polyurethanes to monitor bacterial and fungal growths using scanning electron microscopy. He joined the Printz Research Group at the University of Arizona in Fall 2021 and is pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical engineering focused on researching the integration of polymeric additives into perovskite films
​
Anton is an NSF Indige-FEWSS trainee, which is a program focusing on engineering off-grid Food-Energy-Water nexus solutions within the indigenous communities through a culturally aware and interdisciplinary approach.
​
In his free time, Anton enjoys hiking, the outdoors, and binging shows.
SEAN RAGLOW
PhD Student
Sean Raglow completed his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Arizona in 2020. He worked under Dr. John Schaibley building and measuring 2D material optoelectronic devices. His current research focus on using additive engineering to improve the mechanical and chemical properties of perovskites for solar cell applications.
​
In his free time, Sean organizes a book club, plays synthesizers in a band, and enjoys rock climbing and cycling.
SETH WEAVER
Undergraduate Student (Sophomore)
Seth Weaver is an undergraduate majoring in Optical Sciences and Engineering at the University of Arizona, with minors in Mathematics and Semiconductor Manufacturing. His current research focuses on optical diagnostics for characterizing optoelectronic materials, with long-term goals of pursuing a career in academia centered on photonic instrumentation and optical diagnostics. Outside the lab, Seth enjoys climbing, running, baking, and spending time with friends.
