"Our research effort is directed toward sythesis and characterization of functional
complex oxides and multimetallic nanomaterials. Relationships between composition,
structure, and physical properties are sought with the ultimate goal of producing new
technologically useful materials by design. Of particular interest are materials for catalysis, fuel cell, and photovoltaic applications."
