Research Interests

Large-scale integration of nanomaterials for high performance devices or unique substrate applications (e.g. flexible, transparent) in areas such as photovoltaics, low-power devices, and thin-film transistors. This includes: 1) exploration of nanomaterials for enhanced device performance, 2) characterization of nanomaterial-enabled devices, and 3) optimization of fabrication processes to improve yield, consistency, and integration density of devices incorporating nanomaterials.
