Research

I joined Professor Kanatzidis' group as a postdoctoral research associate on April 2007. I am currently working on thermoelectric materials project. My postdoctoral project focuses on investigating nanostructured narrow bandgap semiconductors for thermoelectric applications and searching for new thermoelectric materials.

During Ph.D. period at Iowa State University, I studied structural and magneto-thermal properties of compounds: Yb₅Si_xGe_4-x, Sm₅Si_xGe_4-x, EuO, and Eu₃O₄ under the supervision of Distinguished Professors Vitalij K. Pecharsky and Karl A. Gschneidner, Jr.
