In brief

Research in the area of experimental condensed matter, with an emphasis on nanoscale electronics.
Areas of reseach include:

A major thrust in the group is the synthesis and characterization of novel materials, with desired functionality, through various chemical methods. Additionally, single crystal and thin film growths of organic semicondcutors are pursued.
