Apurva A. Pradhan works in materials engineering, focusing on thin-film materials such as chalcogenide perovskites, selenium-tellurium alloys, and other semiconductor films with potential use in solar cells and other photovoltaic (PV) devices. The work involves developing chemical processing methods, such as sulfurization and selenization (treating materials with sulfur or selenium to change their properties), to create stable materials for energy applications.
