Research

Light, heat and charge transport in organic functional materials.

Our research links molecular design, microstructure control, device fabrication and physical modeling to understand and optimize organic materials for energy conversion and optoelectronic applications.

Direction 01

Organic thermoelectric materials and flexible devices

We develop organic thermoelectric materials and devices by tuning molecular packing, doping, carrier concentration and thermal transport. The goal is to build efficient, flexible systems for low-grade heat harvesting and wearable electronics.
