Research

I focus on understanding and engineering semiconductor materials, with an emphasis on intermediate-band semiconductors. My work investigates how electronic structure and defect physics shape key properties and enable device-relevant applications. In parallel, I study defects in solids and magnetic materials, connecting atomic-scale behavior with measurable electronic and magnetic properties.
