Research Interests To undertake novel research on the development of surface layers to improve interfacial properties in future high efficiency silicon based photovoltaic (PV) devices, to enhance the longevity and storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries and to enable high modulation efficiencies and resolution for THz metamaterial applications. I am interested in depositing surface layers by atomic layer deposition which include aluminium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, hafnium oxide, aluminium nitride and silicon nitride. I'm actively involved in detecting and analysing light induced defects in gallium doped silicon materials and solar cells, and developing methods to mitigate their impact on the solar cell efficiency.
