Expertise

My research focuses on chemical solution synthesis of functional materials, understanding and manipulating synthesis-property relationships including nucleation and growth as well as evolution of functional properties. To do so we use correlative in situ techniques that we develop in our lab or at the synchrotron. Materials of interest include hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, halide double perovskites and oxides.
