Publication Summary: My research encompasses the exploration and development of advanced optical materials, particularly thin films, for diverse applications in photonics and optoelectronics. My work delves into the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of functional materials with tailored optical properties to advance the understanding of fundamental optics and to engineer materials with enhanced functionalities for practical devices. My research mostly focused on the design and optimization of thin film structures for applications such as photovoltaics, optical coatings, sensors, and integrated photonic circuits. I explore the possible innovative fabrication techniques and material compositions to achieve desired optical and electronic properties, aiming to enhance device performance and efficiency. Furthermore, my research interests extend to the integration of optical materials into emerging technologies, including transparent conductive oxides, semiconductor nanostructures, and metamaterials. By leveraging these materials, my goal is to develop nextgeneration photonic devices and systems with improved performance, functionality, and sustainability including energy generation and savings, potentially be applicable to space applications as well as modern low-powered devices. I believe my research contributions to the field have been disseminated through numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and scholarly platforms.
