Title: "Insights into Optimizing Topological and Thermoelectric Materials from Optics

Abstract: Thermoelectrics and Topological Insulators offer unique opportunities to improve power efficiency of devices and recover lost heat. A key difficulty is understanding the interplay between electronic structure, phonons, disorder, doping, nano-confinement and transport. In this talk I will outline our groups efforts to understand this interplay using various optical spectroscopies (Infrared and Raman) and as well mechanical exfoliation.
