For Prospective Students

Semiconductors are everything

We are an experimental materials physics group at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, Department of Physics & Astronomy, located on the beautiful East Coast of the United States, near the Atlantic Ocean and New York City.

We encourage all talented and ambitious students with a passion for physics and a strong record of Master's coursework to apply to our Ph.D. program in Physics, where you can join our group and pursue a Ph.D. in condensed matter and materials physics.

Our group’s interests include, broadly speaking, the (photo)physics of emerging semiconducting materials and devices. More specifically, our research tends to revolve around the following:

Fundamentals of charge transport in organic and hybrid semiconductors.
Field-effect transistors (FETs) on novel nanomaterials.
Photophysics of highly ordered organic semiconductors and perovskites (exciton dynamics, photoconductivity, and light emission).
Materials synthesis: growth of single-crystal organic semiconductors and epitaxial crystalline perovskites.
Molecular self-assembly at functional interfaces.
Layered inorganic semiconductors (dichalcogenides, graphene, 2D perovskites).
Ionic-liquid gating of multiferroic oxides.
