Specialization

Development of small molecules for green-solvent processable organic photovoltaic devices.

Bio

I received my B.S. in Chemistry from USC in May 2014.  I conducted my undergraduate research in Dr. Mark Thompson's group, where I worked on the syntesis and characterization of corannulene-based materials for use in OLEDs.

Research

My current research focuses on the development of planar small molecule donor materials with polar solubilizing groups for use in green solvent-processed organic solar cells.  I am also studying the liquid crystalline behavior of small molecule OPV materials.
