Declan P. McCarthy, PhD

Postdoctoral Researcher, Materials Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

I study materials chemistry at the interface of organic, hybrid organic–inorganic, and polymeric materials. In Dr. Brett Helms's group at Berkeley Lab within the DOE Center for High Precision Patterning Science (CHiPPS EFRC), my work focuses on designing hybrid metal halide photoresists and elucidating extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light-triggered reaction cascades for high-precision nanoscale patterning.

Previously, I received my PhD in Organic Chemistry with Prof. Seth Marder from the University of Colorado Boulder (after transferring with the group from Georgia Tech) and was a DOE SCGSR Graduate Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), where I developed photo-crosslinkable charge-transport polymers and surface passivation chemistries for perovskite solar cells. Earlier, I was an ORISE Fellow at the CDC after earning my BSc in Chemistry from the University of Virginia.
