Conducted research under the supervision of Prof. Russell J. Holmes in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS). Primary focus on design/fabrication and optical/electrical/structural characterization of organic light-emitting devices OLEDs. Was involved in several projects:
1) Role of Molecular Orientation in Determining OLED Efficiency
2) OLED Cavity Tuning in Commercial Devices for Display Applications (collaboration with Microsoft)
3) Tuning Molecular Orientation and OLED Performance via Thin Film Processing Conditions
4) Using Dipolar Doping to Enhance OLED Lifetime and Efficiency
5) Kelvin Probe Microscopy to Study the Impact of Molecular Orientation on Charge Transfer
Conducted undergraduate research under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Jung in the Department of Physics and Purdue University. Was part of interdisciplinary group focused on the upgrade of compact muon solenoid (CMS) general-purpose particle detector at the large hadron collider (LHC). Studied the properties of carbon-fiber-based support structure used in the inner-most layer of the particle detector.
Conducted undergraduate thesis research under the supervision of Prof. Steve Feller. Employed Raman Spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry to study the structural and physical properties of tellurium dioxide-based glasses.
