RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research group focuses on compound semiconductors and other electronic materials - especially how defects and dopants affect material properties and device performance. Recent work has been in radiation induced damage in GaN, doping and defects in CdTe for photovoltaics, and doping and defects in Ga2O3 for high field electronics. Lastly, we have also worked on monitoring photovoltaic installations using a time domain reflectometry technique SSTDR.
