Research in our group is focused on exploring emergent and novel energy materials. Special attention is devoted to science of synthesis aiming at development on novel synthetic techniques to enable metastable and nonexistent compounds. We tackle multiple aspects of energy generation, conversion, and storage. We are interested but not limited to thermoelectric materials, water splitting catalysts, photovoltaics, superconductors, low-dimensional magnets, ion-conductors, and materials for neuromorphic computing. Understanding the structure-property relationship is a key to the rational design of such materials. Optimization of material's performance is achieved by tailoring composition, atomic arrangements and chemical bonding. Graduate and undergraduate students who join our group will be exposed to a variety of techniques for synthesis and characterization of solid state inorganic materials.
