Research Interests

My research interests lie in the area of controlled crystallization of perovskite/organic materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications. I’m particularly interested in the additive engineering of 3D and 2D perovskites using organic small molecular additives.  Such hybrid systems are the potential for various applications including, resistive memristors, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. Perovskite single-crystals and ultrathin films for emerging optoelectronics are some of my other research interests.
