About us
Our group focuses on the fabrication of hybrid nanostructures and their multifunctional properties (electronic, optical, electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, etc.) and their application for energy harvesting and storage devices. Our interest also lies in developing low-cost techniques for the fabrication of large-area transparent conducting electrodes (TCE) using various physical and chemical processes. Most importantly, our group strives to translate our laboratory research findings into technology. Therefore, we utilize the outcome of our research findings in the development of working prototypes.
