RESEARCH INTERESTs
The main research focus of Girish's group is on the optoelectronic properties of novel nanoscale semiconductor materials to deliver solutions for solar energy harvesting, optical switches, and polariton lasers. Girish am interested in:
- Harnessing chirality at a nanoscale and polarization of light to discover new optical phenomena
- Utilising strong light matter interactions via formation of polaitons to tune excitonic properties
- Molecular photophysics of semiconductor materials
