Electrical Engineering

    * Environmentally friendly materials, and associated synthesis or film deposition processes
      Low hazard semiconducting sulfides of relatively low toxicity metals such as copper, tin, bismuth, iron, zinc, and indium for optoelectronic applications
    * Oxides of molybdenum and tungsten as safer alternatives to chromium oxide and metal chromate films commonly used in industry for corrosion protection, coloration, and adhesion enhancement on underlying substrate materials
    * Optoelectronic devices and sensors
    * Electrochemical film deposition and analysis, for example environmentally friendly trivalent chromium electroplating
      

Dr. Engelken has been affiliated with ASU since 1982 and with the EVS Program since its inception. His research group has become active in the field of low toxicity and low environmental impact materials and associated synthesis/deposition, processing, characterization, and applications. Dr. Engelken directs the Optoelectronic Materials Research Laboratory, which typically also involves three to six student research assistants.
