Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

P. M. Thibado's research focuses on the application of molecular dynamics simulations and experimental methods to investigate energy harvesting and conversion mechanisms, particularly utilizing graphene-based materials. His work explores the spontaneous curvature inversion in compressed graphene ripples for energy harvesting, the development of graphene variable capacitors for vibration-based applications, and the charging of capacitors from thermal fluctuations using diodes.

Recent publications investigate freestanding graphene heat engines analyzed using stochastic thermodynamics, low-level kinetic-energy-powered temperature sensing systems, and spectrum analysis of thermally driven curvature inversion in strained graphene ripples for energy conversion. Thibado also studies arrays of graphene solar cells on silicon wafers for power systems. His research network includes frequent collaborations with James M. Mangum, Teguh Satria Amin, Syed M. Rahman, and Mehdi Kabir, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

Thibado holds a Professor position at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His scholarly output is marked by an h-index of 27 and over 126 publications, attracting more than 2,163 citations. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
