Research interests 

My research focuses primarily on thin-film semiconductor materials, especially molecular semiconductors, and their applications in memory, transistors, and electrochemical devices. Key themes include developing novel physical molecular devices and thin-film or low dimensional materials, understanding the physics of charge transport and structure–property relationships in molecular semiconductor films, and exploring new functional electronics. In addition, we are also working on sustainable materials such as cellulose for ionic mixed devices and sustainable development.
