The overarching goal of my research is to understand, on a fundamental level, the complex interplay among materials chemistry, atomic arrangement, and physical attributes for creating thin films and nanostructures in an atom-by-atom fahsion.
I seek to achieve this goal by combning novel vapor-based thin-film synthesis routes, in situ/real time diagnostics, ex situ nanoscale chemistry and structure probes, and deterministic/stochastic simulations.
My specific research interests include:
The technological relevance of my research includes materials and devices for energy saving and generation, catalytic and sensing platforms, and materials for infomration and communication technologies.
