Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

P. M. Thibado's research program focuses on the study of nanoscale materials, particularly graphene, for energy harvesting and conversion applications. His work utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the mechanisms behind spontaneous curvature inversion in compressed graphene ripples, exploring their potential for energy harvesting. Thibado has also investigated the development of graphene-based devices, including arrays of variable capacitors for vibration-based applications and solar cells for power systems, often fabricated on silicon wafers.

Further research extends to the fundamental principles of energy conversion at the nanoscale. This includes examining how diodes can be used for charging capacitors from thermal fluctuations and analyzing graphene heat engines using stochastic thermodynamics. His group has also explored low-level kinetic-energy-powered temperature sensing systems and the spectrum analysis of thermally driven curvature inversion in strained graphene ripples for energy conversion.

Thibado holds the designation of a highly cited researcher. He has published 126 works with over 2,163 citations and an h-index of 27. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including James M. Mangum, Teguh Satria Amin, Syed M. Rahman, and Mehdi Kabir, with whom he shares multiple publications.
