Professor Moddel’s research interests are in the area of quantum engineering of new devices for energy conversion. He is investigating a technology for extracting energy from the quantum vacuum. With his lab he is also developing new ultra-high-speed metal-insulator diodes for solar rectennas, devices that collect and rectify sunlight and waste heat.
