Chinecherem obtained her Bachelor’s and first Master’s degree from the University of Nigeria Nsukka where she worked on the synthesis and characterization of thin film materials and perovskite solar cells; under the supervision of Prof. F. I. Ezema. She was awarded another Master’s degree from Colorado State University under the supervision of Prof. James Sites where she fabricated and measured cadmium telluride bilayer solar cells. Chinecherem joined Rice University in August 2024 as a PhD student working under the supervision of Dr. Kushal Bagchi. Currently, she is investigating the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters that determine which molecules would undergo crystallization as the molecules are physically vapor deposited below the glass transition temperature, Tg. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a useful method of preparing molecular films of organic semiconductors for application in organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays and organic hole transport layers in perovskite solar cells.
