Materials Science Division

Professional Interests

• Molecular materials design and discovery: Guided synthesis, crystallization, and characterization of molecular based solids with electronic and/or magnetic properties.
• Use of advanced characterization tools at national user facilities for the development of detailed structure/property correlations in molecular materials under conditions of extreme pressure, magnetic field, and temperature.
• Multifunctional molecular materials with energy related applications in superconductivity, spintronics, and multiferroics.
• Stabilization of non-equilibrium phases in molecular materials through use of novel crystallization techniques including high pressure/field (electro)crystallization, ionoelectrocrystallization, flux, cryogenic and supercritical methods.
