We focus on the physics of novel materials and develop techniques and protocols to manipulate their properties for applications in energy storage and information processing devices. Current topics our group is working on include:
  • Nano-assembled 'smart' materials
  • Nanoplasmonics based optically triggered sensors
  • Hybrid perovskite photovoltaics 

 Raindrops and Red wine

News article about the three papers we published last year that earned the covers of Advanced Materials Interfaces and PCCP journals. Our interdisciplinary collaboration demonstrates work that could change the way perovskite solar cells are produced.
