What we study
Recent student projects in this lab have studied organic chemistry for electronics, synthesizing a star-shaped molecule that joins nucleobases to a benzotrithiophene core and measuring its light-absorption and electronic properties for solar cells.

Synthesis and Characterization of Nucleobase-Terminated Star-Shaped Oligothiophenes
The lab designs and makes a star‑shaped molecule that combines nucleobases with a benzotrithiophene core, then studies its light‑absorption and electronic properties to see if it could improve organic solar‑cell materials.
