■Device physics - physical aspects of radiation absorption, charge separation and transport, light capture, and the correlation between the structural and electronic properties of organic-organic and organic-inorganic interfaces.
■Modeling - Optical modeling, device electrical modeling with an emphasis on interface effects, and atomistic and course-grained molecular dynamics simulations to determine equilibrium structural conformations in polymer fullerene mixtures.
■Coating technology - development of solution coating techniques for large area deposition of polymer solutions and colloid monolayers.
■Material discovery and characterization - characterization of conjugated polymers, fullerenes and nanoparticles based on inorganic semiconductors, metals and conjugated polymers for use in PV devices.
