His current research interests are centered on the optical, electro-optical, and photo-optical performance of structured polymeric and liquid crystalline materials. Central research areas include the development of 1-, 2-, and 3-D switchable polymeric diffractive structures using complex holographic photopolymerization techniques, development of novel polymeric thin films using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, phototunable materials based on azo-materials including thin film actuators, and phototunable cholesteric LC materials.
