Research interests
Our research is centered on organic-materials chemistry: the design, synthesis and implementation of organic (macro)molecules that mitigate the generation and flow of electricity in thin-films and interfaces.
- Molecular Electronics
- Self-assembled Monolayers
- Conjugated Polymers
- Unconventional Nanofabrication
- Organic Photovoltaics and Thermoelectrics
