Greytak, Andrew B
Associate Professor
The Greytak lab explores physical and materials chemistry at the liquid-solid interfaces of semiconductors. A strong inspiration for this work is the opportunity to impact fields including energy conversion, energy storage, and bioimaging, with current interest in understanding how the properties of semiconductor nanostructures (colloidal nanocrystals, catalytically-synthesized nanowires, and heterostructures) can be modified by controlling the chemistry at their surfaces.
