Research Interests
My work focuses on the deposition of new thin film and multi-layer materials, coupled with ultrafast spectroscopy to characterize both the gas-phase deposition processes, and interfacial electron dynamics. Controlling exciton and electron flow at interfaces is critical to the development of new, high efficiency, energy generation and storage technology. By generating multi-layer superlattice films with highly controlled thickness and material properties, we will have a broad test-bed to examine photoexcited processes in these new materials.
