Scientific Interests
I am interested in ab initio modeling of materials and their properties in general, and have so far dealt with ferroelectrics, especially ferroelectric perovskites, for piezoelectric applications, and electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. Currently I study the light absorption properties of CZTS, an absorber material for thin-film solar cells.
