Congratulations to Shreya Patel, a high school student working with our research group, for being named a Regional Finalist in the prestigious 2015 Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology. Her research project focused on developing electrochromic devices that rely on hexacoordinate silicon. Electrochromic materials change color upon application of an electrical field. Shreya made the first working prototype of an electrochromic window that could go from colorless to different colors depending on the silicon dye that is incorporated. Shreya started high school at Lake Norman Charter School in Huntersville, NC and is currently a Senior at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Check out Shreya the Science Gal‘s video on YouTube.
