• Primary Research Interest: We study surface and materials chemistry as it relates to the growth and properties of ultrathin metal, dielectric and perovskite films for optical and electronic applications.

• Primary Broader Impact Activity: This is a GOALI collaboration with IBM to advance materials leading to negative capacitance devices

• Interests in New Collaborations: Materials characterization
