RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on using semiconductor nanocrystal "solar inks" and low-temperature processing to fabricate inexpensive, highly-efficient solar cells. Unlike conventional thin-film solar cells, nanocrystal inks allow for the inexpensive deposition of solar materials under ambient conditions onto almost any surface. Unfortunately, the efficiencies of nanocrystal-based photovoltaics are still too low for commercialization. I am working towards improving these efficiencies without sacrificing cost or production flexibility.
