My research interests are centered toward the synthetic development of volatile Group 2 source compounds for ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film growth. Thin films containing Group 2 elements exhibit a variety of technologically important properties. In addition, I am also interested in the actual deposition of thin films using ALD processes.
