Andrew Bennett-Jackson graduated from the University of Virginia in 2012 with a B.S. in chemistry with specialization in chemical physics. During his time at UVA, he was a member of the Cavalier Marching Band, playing clarinet, being a member of the uniform crew, and playing bassoon in concert band.  After graduating, he held the position of Cavalier Marching Band Events and Administrative Assistant for three years. In 2015, he was accepted to Drexel University and is currently pursuing a Ph. D. in materials science and engineering. Andrew’s research investigates light-matter interactions at the nanoscale via the bulk photovoltaic effect. Using a combination of pulsed laser deposition to grow epitaxial thin films and nanofabrication techniques such as electron beam lithography, Andrew aims to understand how to improve the sunlight-to-power conversion efficiency in noncentrosymmetric complex oxide systems. In addition, he also focuses on expanding modern physical vapor deposition methods to achieve novel electronic properties in thin films.  He is so dedicated to the CMB, that he continues to make the 5 hour trip to Grounds to help every game day.
