My main project explored a new novel way to obtain optoelectronic thin films. We are working to obtain extremely smooth and thin films for the applications of solar cells, low cost display filters, OPVs etc.I was also working on a project that targets toward the development of a 3D optical data storage system based on Fluorescence quenching. The first phase of the project has been successfully completed and is now in engineering/product development phase. Right now I am involved in determining new materials for the technology devised earlier and also looking into scientific aspects of the storage mechanism.

Helping the students of the Physics 121 - Classical Mechanics Intro course in performing various experiments in the lab. Helping the students by showing them the experimental side of the physics and how it relates to what they learned in the theory class.I was also responsible for grading the lab reports, notebooks and worksheets of the students enrolled in the same course.
