info
Over 11 years, I have involved in numerous projects to support NASA’s science and space missions - Thermoelectrics | Lunar energy harvesting | Adaptive optics for spectroscopy | Radiation shielding materials | Metasurface optics | Diffractive lens for space telescope | Optic filter for in-flight thermal imagery for space launch system | Phase change materials.
I am most interested in fundamental materials science problems related to electron / phonon transport, heteroepitaxial growth, and phase transitions. My research interests also include customized vacuum system, miniaturized optical devices, and hyperspectral imaging for NASA and more.
