About our Group
Our research primarily focuses on thermoelectric materials and devices that can convert waste heat into fruitful electricity. We explore and play with a plethora of strategies and processing routes to tune electrical and thermal transport properties in a material to make it suitable for efficient energy harvesting. The group’s research on thermoelectrics spans from bulk materials to flexible electronics. Besides the experimental aspects, we closely collaborate with theoreticians to understand their electronic band structures and phonon vibrational properties.
