My primary research interests have concentrated on nanostructured materials for energy applications. My laboratory expertise includes thin-film deposition (evaporation, sputtering, PE-CVD, sol-gel synthesis, etc.), electro-optic characterization, AC impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical deposition and analyses techniques. During my ten years tenure at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, I have been engaged in the research and development of a variety of technical subjects: solid-state thin-film lithium batteries, nano-composite supercapacitors for energy storage, ion-insertion mechanisms in advanced materials, fundamental aspects of electrochromic window degradation, fiber-optic hydrogen sensors based on chemochromic actuation and novel opto-electronic phenomena involving nano-scale materials.
