The Dou research group is interested in hybrid materials synthesis and processing for the next generation energy harvesting and optoelectronics devices. Both fundamental understanding of the materials structure-property relationships and the application in high performance energy-efficient devices are emphasized. Prior to joining the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, Dr. Dou held research positions at UC Berkeley/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory/California Research Alliance by BASF, at UCLA, and at University of California, Santa Barbara.
