Flextronics Lab

At PDEU, we develop flexible electronic devices, more specifically memristors for data storage and neuromorphic computation and solar cells to fulfill the growing demands of advanced technology and energy. Here, we grow the thin films on flexible substrates using different deposition techniques and develop the various electronic devices to reveal their structural/optical/electrical properties to make them more efficient.

Research Interests

Hybrid perovskites, flexible electronics, memristor, data storage, synapses, nociceptor, photovoltaics, light emitting diodes, nanomaterials and thin film characterizations
