Research Overview
My group is interested in engineering the composition of glass for specific applications. Among our current projects are growing copper oxide nano-crystalline films from glass melts heavily doped with copper. These films have potential application as solar cell materials. We are also looking at new material architectures for nuclear fission reactors to prevent melting of fuel rods. We are also looking at inorganic/organic composites for dye sensitized solar cells. We are generally interested in making any new and unusual glasses for designed optical, magnetic, and even biological responses.
Current and Recent Projects
- Structural orientation in Borate containing Glass Fibers
- Novel Optical Glasses for instrumentation
- Analysis of oxygen diffusion in display glass melts
- Analysis of attachment to glazes using chemical force microscopy
