Research Interests:

• Nanostructured inorganic materials processing and characterization with a thin film emphasis
• Characterization of thin films and ceramic interfaces using HRSTEM, TED,
   FESEM, XRD, and optical techniques
• Low temperature processing of nanoscale fuel cells, low-k dielectrics, and optoelectronics using
   precursor, sol-gel, and colloidal depositions
• Interfacial studies, epitaxial growth, texturing, and grain growth in thin films
