Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science, Rochester Institute of Technology

Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science, Rochester Institute of Technology I am an Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Materials Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). In a career spanning 10+ years, I have researched next-generation solution-processed semiconductor electronics based on colloidal nanocrystals, metal-oxides, and metal-halide perovskite semiconductors. This body of research has so far resulted in over 55 research articles with lead works published in high-impact journals including Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Joule, Advanced Materials, & ACS Energy Letters, besides multiple contributed and invited talks. During my postdoctoral tenure at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), I have advanced perovskite optoelectronics for aerospace applications. My research has drawn attention to the interfacial and microstructural complexity in printed electronics, and the need to understand it for enabling the lab-to-fab transition.

Sessional Lecturer, University of British Columbia

Sessional Lecturer, University of British Columbia My research focuses on job quality and occupational health within the platform economy. Specifically, I explore how differences in jurisdictional and federal regulations, along with the transnational nature of some platform jobs, create a grey area between policy and action. Additionally, I examine how platform companies' use of machine learning models in workforce management impacts the occupational experiences of marginalized workers, such as immigrants. I hold a Master's degree in Public Policy and Global Affairs and am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy within the UBC Faculty of Medicine. I also serve as a sessional lecturer at UBC.

Chercheur post-doctorant, École normale supérieure (ENS) – PSL

Chercheur post-doctorant, École normale supérieure (ENS) – PSL Je suis spécialiste de psychologie politique, un domaine à la croisée entre sciences politiques et sciences cognitives. Mes recherches et mes conférences portent sur les fonctions stratégiques de la mésinformation politique (pensée complotiste, fake news), les mécanismes de la polarisation politique et les solutions contre celle-ci, les croyances extrêmes, la répression de la liberté d’expression et la politisation des débats scientifiques. Mes publications et mon CV détaillé sont disponibles sur mon site internet: https://antoinemariesci.wixsite.com/antoinemarie
