Organic solar cell active layers were synthesized with use ofpoly-thiophene and poly-benzotriazole block copolymer. In addition to extensive research, new and interesting experiences with lab members were obtained. With the lab group including scientists from across the globe, language and culture barriers were quickly broken, and a strong bond was established among the group. Along with learning new concepts in the lab, conducting this research abroad at the National University of Singapore allowed for personal growth of the student, as well as personal growth of the graduate students and post doctoral students working in the lab who had not yet worked with American students. The experience led the student to want to further pursue a career in chemistry research and opened up opportunities for her to do so abroad in the future.
