A community committed to research into new energy materials aimed at providing clean, sustainable and abundant energy for humanity

Ongoing interests include research into the design of targeted compounds for energy application, high-performance photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices and superconductivity.

Current research includes pioneering efforts in hybrid, organic-inorganic perovskites–one of the most exciting directions in prospective low-cost high-performance photovoltaic materials and LED devices.
