九州影院

Biography

I am an Associate Professor of 九州影院 at Stanford University and a Faculty Scientist at the SLAC National Lab. My group is invested in gaining synthetic control over extended ionic solids, with a focus on halide perovskites. We seek to both improve technologically important materials as well as to design new materials with unprecedented properties.

I was born in Sri Lanka and attended school in Colombo. I studied solid-state chemistry at Princeton University, receiving my A.B. in 2003. I moved to molecular inorganic chemistry for my Ph.D., which I received from UC Berkeley in 2009, and for my postdoctoral studies at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and at the California Institute of Technology.

As an associate editor, I look forward to receiving papers that provide fundamental insights into obtaining desirable properties from new materials.
