Research Interests

Topics: optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, photonics, 2D materials, Atomic layer deposition (ALD), spatial ALD, chemical vapour deposition, low-temperature synthesis, device fabrication, MEMS, sensor development, perovskite and tandem solar cells.

Why 2D materials: I have a strong interest in 2D materials, as the unique properties of 2D materials arise from their atomically thin structure and the quantum confinement of electrons in the material. These properties make them highly attractive for various applications in electronics, optoelectronics, energy, and biomedicine. For example, graphene, which is a 2D material made of carbon atoms, has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, making it an ideal material for various applications. For that reason, I think development and scaling up the usage of 2D materials is crucial for our technological progress.
