Research summary

This profile appears to aggregate work spanning several distinct engineering and materials science areas, including perovskite solar cells and transistors, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors using DNA nanostructures and CRISPR-based detection, and energy storage materials such as battery and capacitor electrodes. A prospective student should note that the diversity of topics (from solar cell interfaces to DNA biosensors to particle accelerator power supplies) suggests this record may combine output from multiple researchers sharing the same name, so publications should be checked individually. The work generally involves designing and characterizing new materials or nanostructures for applications in energy conversion, energy storage, and biomarker detection.
