Her research focuses on developing high-performing solution-processed electronics, such as thin film transistors and solar cells. She has studied methods to enhance the charge carrier mobility of organic semiconductors with the use of molecular dopants and explore their application in organic thin film transistors. She is developing sustainable solution-processed solar cells, primarily focusing on materials, methods, and solvents used during manufacturing. Primarily, focus is given to the careful consideration of raw materials and solvents to enable environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
