Research directions

My specific research interests are in thin film materials and nanoscale processing for advanced materials and devices.  While my research program has and continues to evolve, my research program can be divided into three focus areas, namely:

1. combinatorial thin film synthesis for rapid materials discovery,
2.  materials integration and nanofabrication for advanced device applications, and
3.  nanoscale focused electron beam stimulated processing.  Below is a summary of these three research focus areas.
