Dr. Kevin Kelly at Rice University

Dr. Kevin Kelly is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and chair of the Applied Physics Program at Rice. His lab’s research includes the cutting-edge development and characterization of molecular machines such as the Nanocar and similar molecules, probing novel electronic states in graphene and topological insulators, investigating charge transport in polymer photovoltaics, and designing "single-pixel camera" compressive imaging systems. In addition to being a fellow of the Rice Quantum Institute, he was a member of the Penn State Center for Nanoscale Science, and is a current member of the Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment Center at Princeton. He co-founded and was Chief Scientist for Inview Technology Corporation, a company focused on commercializing compressive imaging. He was a primary lecturer for the anthropology course “Nanotechnology: Content and Context” for five years, has co-created and taught a course on technological disasters in the Department of History at Rice since 2009, and consulted for the Baker Institute for Public Policy on the development and commercial outlook of photovoltaics.
