Research Summary

Research in my group is tailored to each individual student's interest. In the past, my students have worked on experimental and computational projects involving various aspects of physics and material science. Here is a sampling of our work:
• Fabrication and characterization of graphite-based thin films for ultraviolet photodetection
• Transparent conducting electrodes for high efficiency perovskite solar cells
• Lightning protection coatings for wind turbine blades
• COMSOL simulation of triboelectric nanogenerators for energy-scavenging
• Simulation of transport of microplastics in wastewater streams
• Visible light photosensors using graphite-dye composite thin films
I also stay in constant touch with local industries and am interested in connecting Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳ students with internship opportunities. If you are a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳ undergraduate (in any major) curious about any of the above, please send me an email.
