Research Interests：
Lead-free halide perovskites for optoelectronics and spintronics:
1) New materials: design and synthesis of lead-free perovskites and their structure-property relationships
2) New applications: lead-free optoelectronic (solar cells, light-emitting diodes, detectors, etc.) and spintronic (memories, spin light-emitting diodes, etc.) devices
3) High performance: material modifications, device optimizations, photophysics, spin physics of lead-free perovskites
