Group Overview

 

The Hunt Research Laboratory explores the interfaces among surface chemistry, structure, composition, and bulk physical properties of advanced materials for optics, electronics, and environmental applications. Our focus is the development of new techniques and materials systems that allow us to tailor, at the molecular level, optoelectronic material properties. Using principles of rational design, and self-assembly, we design and characterize novel, nanostructured materials, such as zeolites, sol-gels, and mesoporous materials to create on-chip optical and electronic devices for environmental monitoring.
