My Research Interest

My journey began with the synthesis of conjugated polymers during my master鈥檚 studies, where I explored their application in organic solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), aiming to develop materials with tailored electronic and optical properties for efficient energy conversion and lighting. In my PhD research, I focused on the synthesis of novel conjugated self-assembled monolayers and their integration into lead-based perovskite solar cells. Perovskites, due to their high efficiency and tunability, have emerged as a groundbreaking class of materials for solar energy conversion. My work on self-assembled monolayers aimed at optimizing interfacial charge transport in perovskite devices, ultimately improving their performance and stability. Furthermore, I advanced my expertise by working with tin-based perovskite solar cells and LEDs.

Currently, I am expanding my research to perovskite-silicon solar cells, a rapidly emerging area in the field of photovoltaics. These devices combine the strengths of both perovskite and silicon, aiming to significantly enhance the efficiency of traditional silicon-based solar cells by integrating the superior light absorption properties of perovskites. My research focuses on optimizing the interface between perovskite and silicon layers, enhancing charge transport, and improving the overall stability of these hybrid solar cells for commercial-scale applications.

Overall, my research is driven by the goal of advancing next-generation, efficient, and sustainable optoelectronic devices, particularly in the context of solar energy. By developing novel materials and innovative device architectures, I aim to contribute to the development of high-performance, low-cost, and environmentally friendly technologies.
