Structure-Property Relationships in Conjugated Polymers
I investigate how molecular structure, backbone rigidity, molecular packing, and thin-film microstructure determine charge transport and mechanical behavior in conjugated polymer semiconductors.
My work uses multiscale structural and electrical characterization to connect molecular-level deformation with device-scale electronic performance.
