Research Interest

My research primarily is focus on creating functional materials by the rational synthesis and processing and on their practical applications, with particular interests in the following areas: (1) novel nanostructured thermoeletric materials and device fabrication; (2) inorganic nanomaterials: shaped and size controlled synthesis, colloidal dispersion, surface chemistry directed assembly and functionalities; (3) synthesis and characterization of porous materials with controllable morphology and composition; (4) synthesis and organization of semiconducting clusters; (5) organic conjugated materials.
