Research Interest
My research gorup conducts an interdisciplinary research involving organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and semiconductor device engineering and aiming to create organic solids with novel physical and chemical functions. Recent research projects focus on three aspects:
1. Organic semiconductors and organic electronic devices;
2. Novel molecular switches and their applications;
3. Chemical reactions in molecular crystals.
