Alec M. Fischer is a Research Professor at the Department of Physics at Arizona State University. He received his B.S. degree in Physics from the National university of Engineering in Lima, Peru in 2004 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from Arizona State University in 2009. His main research work is related to correlating the optical and structural properties of III-nitrides in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. In 2017, he joined STACE in the design of international MW-scale CPV projects. In 2019, he joined Array Photonics for the development of dilute-nitride-based PDs, EELs, and VCSELs for imaging sensing. His current research interests include advanced material characterization of bulk and photonic devices.
