Research
Chemistry of Materials - emphasizing the relationships between chemistry, crystal structure, and electronic and magnetic properties of non-molecular solids. Synthesis, structure, and physical property characterization of new transition metal oxides, chalcogenides, intermetallics, and pnictides. Study of the materials chemistry of superconductors, magnetic materials, transparent electronic conductors, dielectrics, thermoelectrics, geometrically frustrated magnets, and correlated electron systems.
