Expertise

My research focuses on chemical solution synthesis of functional materials, understanding and manipulating synthesis-property relationships, and evolution of functional properties. To do so we use correlative in situ techniques that we develop in our lab or at the synchrotron. A new research direction evolves around robot-assisted materials acceleration. Materials of interest include hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, halide double perovskites and oxides for energy applications.
