Welcome to the Bazan Research Group Website
Research in the Bazan Group is centered on the molecular design and synthesis of innovative, functional materials for applications in organic photovoltaics, bioelectrochemical devices, as well as biological relevant applications.
In addition to our strong synthetic foundations, we are also focused on device engineering to extract the best performance of the design molecules. The focus of the research undergoing in the group is on developing architectures that optimize optoelectronic performance; understanding the electronic delocalization between organic chromophores in the solid state; transmembrane agents that facilitate electron transfer and enable incorporation of microorganisms into bioelectronic devices; design of new broad-spectrum antibiotics.
