Teaching Philosophy & Focus

At WSU, my two main teaching goals are to convey the fundamental material necessary while cultivating the soft skills needed for students to thrive after graduation.

Research Areas of Interest

My materials research focuses on electronic materials. Previously, I've worked with the development of silicon-based thin films and nanostructures for photovoltaics and light emitting devices. In industry, I've worked on III-V multijunction solar cells for concentrated PV as well as new inorganic polycrystalline thin film development for solar energy conversion. Additionally, I've helped develop ZnON films for thin-film transistors applications in active-matrix displays.

Specific Projects

My students are currently working on two projects: creating a solar water heater with thin film selective absorbers made in our sputtering system and a perovskite solar cell project. In both projects, students are exposed to the entire materials development process from start to finish: making a material, testing the material, incorporating it into a device, and testing the device.
