Short presentation
My activities include teaching at both undergraduate & graduate levels and research on synchrotron-based analysis of energy materials, in particular thin film solar cells.My research interests aim at generating an understanding of the correlation between materials functionality and their properties, which will greatly enhance rational design and optimisation of better materials.
